well I hope his beer was lukewarm too... leaving a person to starve like that. You know I'm kidding.

Do you have PF Chang restaurants up there? They are a chain, but if you want to you can order your own concoctions (although they don't advertise that). I find their Chinese food to be really quite good. Regular Chinese or any far eastern food is not the most popular in this part of Texas, so the pickins are slim. Except that we do have some very decent sushi places. Go figure.

Toronto has a huge Chinese population and a lot of Chinese restaurants, most of which are independents. The one near me is run by a family and serves pretty good food. It has quite a few spicy dishes on the menu.

Toronto is a large city - 3 million - and it is a city of immigrants. Ethnic eating here is great! I and my mate can walk to Chinese restaurants, a couple of Ethiopian places, Italian, Indian, south Indian, Vietnamese, Mexican, Thai, Lebanese, Greek, Carribean as well as the usual chain fast food joints. There are also Portuguese restaurants in the hood but I don't like Portuguese food - too much fish and meat and not enough vegies and salads.

It is because of this and the cheap books that I love big city life.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
