yeah, tiff. truly an inspiration. What was your exercise regimen like?

I didn't work out for 4 months with the exception of some walking. I only started lifting weights 3-4 days a week, and one day of cardio, and I only did that for 4 months because at 8 months post-op I had to have my gallbladder removed so and that was a full 12 months ago, and I never got back into working out.

So, I never did any formal exercising until 4 months post-op. Joined the Y, started working on building muscle, and did Hip HOp Abs one day per week, plus some isolated core workouts.

There's 2 different ways to post pictures into a topic.

1) Upload the photo to photobucket.com then there will be links given for "sharing". Copy the "DIRECT LINK" code, come back here and at the top of the reply box there is a little box that looks like a landscape picture, like a mountain with some Water. It's on the same row as the FONT (Bold Italics Underline) boxes, it's 2 over from the Smiley Face Icon. If you put your mouse over it, it will say "INSERT IMAGE". Click that box and PASTE that code into the box, hit enter. The photo will pop into the topic box.

2) If you have the picture saved, say on Facebook, or any other website, you can Highlight that photo, right click hit COPY, and then come back here and right click to Paste the photo directly into the topic. If you upload the photo to your gallery, you can also use the copy/paste technique from there. You'll just need to open a new tab or window so you can click back and forth between the 2 pages.

      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.
