Marie,

My doctor told me to wait 6 weeks to do weights, I am not sure if they all say the same thing or not. Just check with your doctor. Good luck!

I read an article today that said if you walk your dog 20 min a day 5 days a week you can lose an extra 14 pounds.

I think I need to get a dog!:noidea: Just kidding.

When I am up to it. I think I am going to ride a bicycle for 20 min everyday after work, when its not soo hot.

I ran 5km outside, ouchie ouchie - my ankles and knees are sore now. Its why I stick to the treadmill but boredom has been setting in lately.

It was also extraordinarily hard - treadmill running and outside running are not the same thing at all!

      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.
