my husband/gym partner



Recommended Posts

Today I needed to go to KMart, about 5 miles from the house. So my husband came with me so we could go to the gym after. We got to the car and he asked for me to bring him home. I asked what's wrong and he said, I am lazy and don't feel like going. I said, no excuse, and I drove us to the gym. I enjoyed it and he sort of did and he admitted he was happy he went.

The other day it was nice weather in Boston and not too far away we have wonderful outlet shopping. My husband and I walked all over, 4500 steps. He has been very sick for almost 2 years and this is the most walking he has done since. It was wonderful, outside and walking.

Exercise has become very important to me, just that I blew 40 years away of not being active except I learned to ski at 40 but quit after 4-5 years because of knee troubles and my NH house had a rodent problem and I refused to go there so I rented it and finally sold it. The house was in the woods with deer in the yard and hunters all over the place. Funny story-(I wear fur!) My sons would tell me during hunting season to go out walking with the fur on. Nice sons.

Have a fun exercise day and keep moving!!!!!!!!!

      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.
