I everyone, I am now five weeks post op. I feel great. I am from San Francisco. Today I am going to take all the junk off my treadmill and use it. I have been taking walks but not they are not long enough. I just wanted to introduce myself, and I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you. Please feel free to give me any advice on food, exercise etc. I need all the help I can get.

Hi Citygurl,

Kudos, for deciding to up your exercise! I am 8 days post op and haven't started exercising as of yet.

My plan is to start walking on Monday, twenty-thirty minutes and see how I feel.

This site is a treasure of info, and everyone is very supportive!

Welcome newie...

Thank you both for your support. Just got off treadmill. Did thirty minutes and burned 130 calories. Feel great. It wasn't so bad now that I have lost some weight. Looking forward to it tomorrow.

Welcome to the loser's bench!!! Enjoy your treadmill, the trick is to make it fun in some way (listen to music, watch tv, read a book if you can, do little challenges, etc). Take some time to browse through all the forums here, there are years of questions and answers out there.

Let us know if you have any specific questions :)

      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.
