Yes, I posted something like this a few weeks back in a different forum and haven't received a reply. Teena, I am also from chicago and would love to do something like this. I was banded 5-8-2009. Hopefully we can find some more Chitown bandits and try to set something up.

Count me in, can even take care of organizing it... I'm in Vernon Hills, work in Niles.

Ladies & Gent.., let's do it! I'm serious... these who would like to meet up... can everyone post their preferences as far as day of the week and time of the day and location. If you give me your top 3 choices I'll coordinate.

Me: Weekdays - Thursday after 5pm

Weekend - Saturdays 2pm-ish

Sunday - Breakfast time (10am-ish - NOT a morning person when given a choice .. lol)

Location - anywhere North-NW

Next????

I don't have a car, so I'm pretty limited to meeting in the city, or somewhere near a metra station in the burbs.

Weekends are best, pretty much any time on Saturdays and Sundays.

And thanks for organizing, remodelingme!

This is awesome, I really hope we can get something going, it would be great.

Weekdays are pretty open, anytime after 600 is good

Weekends are good too, I would also prefer during the day.

Hopefully we can all work something out, and yes thanks for organizing remodelingme.:lol::D

      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.
