It is really crazy how our bodies work. After two weeks of only 1 pound per week I lost 7 and I only made minor adjustments in my exercise/diet routine. I guess sometimes it just has a mind of its own. Keep up the good work!

My trainer has me start walking at 3.5 mph on the treadmill. Then he increases it about .3 every two minutes until I am jogging. I jog for a minute more every session (twice a week). I am up to 5 minutes. Then we are doing strength training. Working on everything from legs, arms, stomach and everything inbetween. I work with him for a little over an hour at a time. I have gone from using 3 lb weights to now 5-8 lb weights depending on what we are doing. I am definitely seeing results and am very happy.

      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.
