Eat anything you want- just be mindful that you've come so far and you don't want to sabotage yourself. Save some money and don't order anything- just ask the person/people you are with to give you 1 bite of what they have. So, a bite of a hotdog, fries, ice cream-whatever is fine. But try to make good choices, of course. Water instead of soda or juice and veggies/protein instead of fried stuff.

Have fun in the sun! I've not made it to Myrtle this year, weird.

Hi, I just got back from Myrtle Beach last week. My hubby and i went and what worked for me was I let him order and I either ate a small portion of his (sharing can save alot of $$), or I ordered the Soup and salad. My hubby was very considerate and ordered things he knew I could eat. I ate broiled seafood (very good Protein source), Soups, veggies and mashed potatoes. So, maybe youcan talk whoever is going with you into shating with you. Good luck and have a great time. We go to MB about 4 times a year, so let me know if you have any ?s.

I was just wondering this myself! Except I usually go to Topsail NC, and it's like a 12 hour drive. I was trying to think of good choices at the fast food drive thrus we'd inevitably be going through

That's awesome! We looove North Topsail, been going since I was a kid. We're booking our home next week for 2010's vaca - we're serious about it lol

I'm a peds nurse and would love to move around that area sometime late next year. I know New Hanover hospital in Wilmington has recently opened a new pediatric unit in the hospital, but other than that I don't know of many pediatric hospital/units near the cost. My understanding is that the big places to take the kids are Chapel Hill and Raleigh?

I live in Carthage, which is an hour from from both Chapel Hill and Raleigh, and I too am a nurse. I am an LPN, working n my RN. If you want any suggestions, just let me know. BTW, as far as traveling, we ate at KFC and I ate mashed potatoes, slaw and corn. Ate at MCD's and had the parfait and a burger without the bread. Taco Bell, refried Beans. Subway, had them make me a sub without the bread (they put it in a salad bowl for you). If you have anyother questions, just let me know. My e-mail address is mmarsh4@yahoo.com, I aslo have a Facebook and myspace.

      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.
