Last minute jitters?

If this trainer is trying to sell some diet to you (something you have to pay for) then not only would I discontinue his services but would inform the managment of the gym. My guess is they don't know he is setting up his own side business using their customers.

Slightly off topic. I go swimming an hour a day/7 days a week. I'm really not into classes of any kind. Too much like high school and I always feel uncomfortable because as the fat chick I could'nt keep up. While the Water aerobics class at my gym are made of of people of all body types and ages; still not my thing. I also like to work out to music (water proof MP3 player is the best thing in the world), and the classes don't use music. Most of the instructors for these classes really try to push me into taking their classes. While they are part of my membership (so free) I just don't want to do them. I think however they may get paid by how many people take the class (or are afraid low attendance will mean the class is cancelled and I think they are contractors). Kind of irritates me because I want to go swimming and not get nudged about joining these classes. Sorry just venting.

Rachel,

You're doing the right things and asking the right questions. You're knowledge and information base is already deeper than mine was at your stage. You are setting yourself up for success! Good luck and stay focused.

Honk, vent on my sister!

Brad, thanks again for your advice and support! I feel like I still don't know everthing that I need to know, but I know part of the journey is post-surgery.

I am still nervous about the eating portion and PBing.

Now that I know that I can keep my energy levels up with Protein, I feel confident that the work out portion will not as much of an issue as i thought it might be.

      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.
