When I first started walking, I could barely make it to the end of my street. I walked with a cane and every single step hurt. By the time I went to the corner and back I thought I might collapse in the driveway. But, I kept doing it day after day, slowly going a little further week after week.

Now...I walk 2 miles a day (weather permitting) and I love it. No more cane either. In fact, if I'm not feeling good, I go walk because I know it'll make me feel so much better.

Just push yourself to do it, you'll feel so much better both physically and mentally.

you make yourself go potty when you got to go

you stop at gas station when your car needs gas

and you drink when you are thirsty

so (make) yourself take a walk..long or short....as long as you do it.

i could barely walk to the end of my short driveway or down my long hall at home

but i did it anyhow.....doesnt matter how far you walk or go....

as long as you do it..

this is my encouragement to you

WE all know YOU can do this! Put your walking shoes on and go. It doesn't have to be long mileage, many short brusts to increase heart rate and then back down. Instead of using elevator to go to 2nd or 3rd floor, walk the stairs, carefully and slowly. Over time it will get easier when you start dropping the weight.

Best wishes

      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.
