Hi!

If there is anyone out there that lives in or near Alexandria, VA and would like to get together to exercise once or twice a week, please let me know! :D I am just staring my 6 month supervised program. However, ANYONE is welcomed, wether you are just starting like me, you are pre-op, or post-op!

I figure it'll be fun to workout together and support each other! :P

**Suggestions welcomed too!!**

:wub:

Simply.torri, I miss home too! I use to live in Arlington, Va, But now I live in Cali and its hard to find workout partners. I work out with my 14 year old daughter. She's my motivation. Hang on there. You'll find someone. Good luck!

I started that program before I decided on WLS so it is just how it worked out...........then I decided in July to move forward as my last year was not successful at all.

I understand. People keep telling me that with my new CPAP machine, the 6 month supervised diet and exercise, i might not need the surgery. But i feel the same... well the last 20 years have been unsuccessful, im not gonna rely on this diet this time, and i am moving forward with the surgery as well.

What is your surgery date? do you have one yet?

Also.... how did you put up your before/after pic? I cant figure it out!!! lol

      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.
