RE: It's All About Restriction! Otherwise It's Just Another Diet.

Did you coin this phrase? I've been using it only I plagiarized it incorrectly?

B-52, good to see you back. You're the kind of bandster I aspire to be... I just haven't been able to embrace the work-outs like I should. Maybe twice a week, three times on a good week. I don't think I have endorphins, because I've just never had that "love this" feeling when it comes to working out ;-(

i can so relate, my knees hurt alot and i do try to walk as much as i can

i work at a sit down job and try to walk about once an hour. the good thing is my bathroom is 74 steps away one way

so i say to my self that each step is helping

hard to believe i use to do step aerobics and walk mini marathons. oh what i was...

No no no that's not the attitude....

In the beginning it's tough, with very little rewards. But eventually you start having accomplishments and victories, small at first, but enough to make you feel real good about yourself. So much so that you want to do it more to relive those small victories and aim for bigger ones, which will make you feel much more prouder about yourself.

Those are the endorphins. Then you are hooked.

I feel so good about myself after every workout, that when I miss a day it's almost depressing.

But you have to stat somewhere. Everone's victories are not the same.

      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.
