A swear we ARE twins! I just can't do 20 minutes on the treadmill every day. I've done it before and I hated it. I have come to the conclusion that there is probably not one single exercise that I'm ever going to be able to do every day without hating it. And I know that if I hate it every day, it can't possibly last. So I'm researching different options to break up the routine! Like treadmill, yoga and/or Pilates, Water aerobics class, stationary bike, walking, etc. all mixed up. I don't have to find just one exercise that I can do, I can do different ones every day! Maybe not this summer, but next summer I can play tennis, basketball and volleyball, and go biking and swimming with my family!

I really would love to swim everyday and do Water aerobics but the only place that offers it is our wellness center and they are soooo expensive. Guess I could pretend in the bathtub. I walk everyday. We do a very fast mile and a half up and down hills but I HATE walking and would prefer to play basketball or anything else. I would probably like Zumba but don't want to pay a big price to go to a gym.

Check around at your local churches. We have Zumba at 3 different churches in my area for $2.00 a class, and I'm not in a big city.

      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.
