East Coast Bash Recap & Count



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, Just wanted to remind everyone of the East Coast Bash.

It is the weekend of Sept 23, 24, 25.

Some of us are arriving on the 22nd and leaving on the 26th. I am staying at the Wyndham Garden Hotel by Laguardia. So taxi's for me everywhere.

Thursday, the 22nd I will arrive in the afternoon and would be up to meeting someone for dinner possibly.

Friday, the 23rd we had discussed a dinner to meet and greet everyone. Has anyone decided on a place or time?

Saturday, the 24th is the Walk from Obesity 5K along Riverside Park. If you are interested in participating then here is the link.

Manhattan, NY - The American Society for Bariatric Surgery - Walk From Obesity - Sept. 24, 2005

Sunday, the 25th is a free day or travel day for some. I plan on going to some museums or just walking the streets of New York and playing sight-seer. Anyone wanna go with?

I think NJCHICK mentioned something about if it was gonna be in Joisey then she would be there. Well right now there are NO REAL plans. So it could be anywhere in the NJ/NY area at this point. LOL!!!

So peoples speak what would you like to do? Any suggestions?

I would love to attend but I will be away til Sept.27/28. The following weekend would be perfect for me. Has the date been confirmed? I don't mind any east coast location. It's the date that is more important. I know it's difficult to accommodate all so I'll just keep watching to see the date and location.

Have a great time!!!!

      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.
