Congratulations!! If you or anyone is wanting to do a long walk there is the Camino de santiago in Spain. Its 780 Km. You can choose how many Km's you walk a day and you stay at Alberges (hostels ) along the way. I hear it is amazing and you experience a wonderful culture. Its something to work towards if it interests you.

Wow that sounds amazing. I love to travel. How interesting that would be. I have a lot of pennies to save before I can do another international trip though :drool5: And Italy is going to be first!! But Spain is one of our top places. Thanks for mentioning this and i will certainly keep it in mind!

It is amazing around there.... we know 4 people who have done it, and its easy walk, plus the terrain isn't flat by a long shot. We travelled up that way 2 yrs ago and its such a beautiful area, although 2 of our friends are doing it as we speak and its been raining almost the whole time, unusual for this time of year for them.

You must do at least the last 100km walking to get your certificate, but other than that can choose if you want to go any further.

Those that we know who have done it have described it as a life changing event.

      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.
