Ok... sooooo... mine's not too ambitious. I'm going to try to do something physical for 30 minutes a day, at least 3 times a week. I know, I know.. that's super weak, but, it's all I got!

I am also going to try to lose a grand total of 8 lbs in the entire month. Ugg, that's really pushing it for me, but I'll try!!

Since Wed is the 2nd, at that's my next weigh-in day, I'll aim for 8 lbs less than whatever I weigh on Wed!

(Kim, that's a hard enough challenge, sticking with the post op diet! Totally ok! )

Hey Mandy

Thanks for your support, okay I am fine ith my challenge. I used to feel liek I was a weak person that I decided to have this surgery and Now I don't think so..aftre alll five - six weeks of not sheating and yogurt/cottage cheese ,and then clear fluids, full fluids and then pureed. So I am happy with that and I thank you for your support! Oh and I bet you're too young to know the Mandy tune, it made manilow famous!

Ok, so I exercise 6x a week, 50 minutes of cardio each day and weight training 3x a week. So I'm going to keep that up and I'm going to challenge myself to lose 10 pounds in August. Good luck to all!

Well, I'll go for 10 pounds for the month and 64 oz of Water everyday. I'm not going to make any excercise committment until next month. I have too many irregular things going on this month, and if we get another flippin' hot spell again I'll find it really difficult to go walking. I'll do my best, though.

Oohhh... the heat. I'm sure it's not nearly as hot here as in ON, but WAY more hot than in SK! I hope this is my last 'more fat than I wanna be' summer, cause I can't take it anymore! My BF suggested we go to this hiking area nearby, and I walk it while he runs. I said "Uhh... I dunno, not if it's this damn hot" but... maybe I will do it. It'll be in the evenings, so it shouldn't be AS bad. Guess I HAVE to get my stupid exercise in. GRRR!

      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.
