Las Vegas January Meetup - Sat, Jan 24 @ 1pm



Recommended Posts

Hello and Happy New Year! Welcome to 2009 and a renewed opportunity to do the best you can to reach your goals!

I'd like to get as many people as we can to re-start our meetup group after the holiday slow-down.

WHEN: Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 1:00pm

WHERE: PF Chang's in Summerlin, on the corner of Charleston and Rampart

Take 215 to Charleston and head East, or take Summerlin Parkway to Rampart and head South; near Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and not far from Rampart Casino or the JW Marriot (I am a landmark person).

I chose PF Chang's again as an oldie, but goodie, and to speed the process along. They have lots of options from which to choose healthy meals, and they are not all necessarily one type of food or another.

Hope to see you there!

Felicia

Meshelle, they have Soup, fish, chicken, veggies.... something for everyone! (That said, Soup 6 months out? Are you saying you can't eat normal food? Maybe you are too tight?)

I am going to keep it Saturday for now, but like Cassy, I am flexible, so we'll see how it goes.

I met a guy last night who had the surgery a year ago and could use support and a kick in the pants to get motivated again. I told him about our lunch and he and his wife may join us.

My mom and I are recent newcomers to the world of Lap Band. She had her surgery 12/15 and I had mine 12/18. We'd love to come and meet with others who are further down the road.

We both had Dr Atkinson from the SWCC do our surgeries.

Thanx, Felicia. I am really trying to knock off a few more pounds for my 1 year band day. I'm having a blast swimming & hiking. Mostly Death Valley, also Red Rocks, Zion + Valley of Fire. I came into town for the Wed. night meeting. I'll catch up with all in Feb. Hasta Pronto, George:thumbup::laugh::thumbup:

Felicia!

Thanks for the welcome. Mom and I will be there with bells on. Did anyone else have their surgery at SWCC? I tried to mention this get together at the last meeting but no one seemed to have heard me. There was probably at least 30 people or more at the support group.

Yes, quite a few of us had it with SWCC and some that did not have their fills and after care there. We're a mixed bunch, but we're good people!

See you in a few hours!

      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.
