I have had the crappiest spring/ summer.

I have had both feet operated on-

battled positional vertigo for 4 months ..

There is no exercising and I have gained 6 pounds and am so PO'd at myself .

I need a fill and our insurance REFUSES to help with ANYTHING that is lap band related .

I forgot to mention that last week I fell and broke my tailbone -- this fall was caused by the dizziness from the vertigo

Wondering if I should just give up an have a hot fudge sundae??????????????????

have you thought about a stationary bike, one you can sit back in?

You still have your arms. Get some dumbbells and there are still a lot of upper body exercises you can do. Don't give up on this and don't give up on yourself. Injuries suck, but they do happen and you most stick with your resolve even more in tough times. Good luck to you.

      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.
