Lindsey,

You rock! Thanks for doing such a great job on the spread sheet and volunteering to update it each Monday! I really appreciate it!

Do you work with computers for a living?

Nope! I'm actually a hairstylist, I just know my way around the computer because I took several courses in highschool.

Wow that's great, thanks a lot! Idk who suggested adding the one min jog to the walks, but omg that kicked my bum today..I do 50 min on the treadmill and decided to add 1 min jog after every 10 min so after 55 min on there today my legs are jello...and I love it!! Thanks again, good luck everyone :)

Thanks Lindsey, it looks great. I have to get my butt moving. I did Zumba on Sunday night & my muscles are killing me ever since. The only exercise i did this week was free weights the other night before bed. Wanted to hit the elliptical last night, but had a love/hate relationship with the clothes in my closet yesterday morning...mostly all too big, so instead of doing the exercise, i hit the goodwill store & grabbed some shirts....a size 18!!!! WHOOOHOOO. Spent less than $15 and got 2 pants and 6 shirts and a coat. I'm still pretty sore today but it's still a good sore and i'm getting on that elliptical tonight if it kills me!!!

I am having a good day and hope everyone is, too! I had my first fill yesterday. I don't feel anymore restricted than I did before the fill. Maybe at my Feb. appt. I will receive an additional fill.

      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.
