Set My First Milestone.......march For Babies!!!



Recommended Posts

Good morning. So I have thought about what would be a great milestone to complete after having my band and I have determined that I am going to do the 3.5 miles March for Babies on April 21, 2012 in Texas. In 2009, I was able to do the 60 miles Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer walk in honor of my mother in law and it took a toll on my body. It had always been my goal to walk in support of foundations and causes which promote the health of people and development of research cures.

So on April 21st, I am going to do it. Even with it being two weeks after surgery, I think I can do it. If you want to show me support you can by viewing my website at:

I am so excited to do this task and I will walk in support of each and everyone of my Band Family.

Good for You!! You will be fine 2 weeks post op, I started walking at the start of the year - after just walking back and forth to the fridge over the past 5 years! Now have a pedometer ap on my phone so i can count the steps and distance etc - i find this quite motivating. Am considering doing a breast cancer run/pant/wheeze/walk in June - there is a program called couch25k which people talk about - seems like a good plan.

      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.
