Meg, I'm a workout fa-REAK!! I've got a personal challenge going on right now. I'm doing 10 Miles per day (combined, walking, jogging, spinner, elliptical) and 6 days per week. Maybe you can do a self challenge? :)

I'm Sheila and on the 'fence' so-to-speak about my final goal. I have not been a super-fast easy loser (unfortunately) BUT it's not because I'm eating crap and not working out, so it's all good. I figure that the worst part of my journey is over. The insurance required hoop-jumping, the surgery, recovery, and learning a new relationship with food is all hard work and that is done. So now it's just onto the final goal however long it may take.

I've been a regular exerciser for 7+ years (I was a religious 3x a week for the last 6 years but in the year since being sleeved up I'm to 7x a week or more...some days I workout twice!) I do low-carb, track my food, drink tons of Water and get in all my vits. I average about 80-100g of Protein daily. So all is good, just having patience with being on the slow loser train!

      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.
