What Are You Going To Do After You Hit The Reset Button?!



Recommended Posts

I want to run a 10K.

I think when I hit goal I'm gonna reward myself with a new Harley.

I ran 10k in the Gold Coast Marathon in 2009. I was 110kgs! I was still running everyday for around 20mins and did 5k every 3 weeks until March, I was 121kg. It then became too hard to run. Don't know why I kept putting in weight when I was training and had a PT but can't wait to have the sleeve and start training again and know that I will be losing weight, not gaining it!!

Ps. Love the idea of new Harley!

I want to go to one of those photo studios where they make you up, do your hair and then take wonderful photos of you. I want that. I even want to do a sexy naked photo shoot. Just because.

This is fun to think about! Let's see...

Shop at Victorias Secret, Express and Zara

Wear boots

Go to the Water parks and amusement parks and not be afraid of weight restrictions

Further my career goals with out fear of judgment of my size

Zipline (I'm afraid of heights but I would do this if I ever got to my goal weight- just for the 'I can' factor)

Learn to ride a bike- this is sad but I never learned because I've always been fat, uncoordinated and afraid. I want to cross that off my list

Go hiking

Compete in a race. I don't care the distance, how fast I go, but to be able to.

Cut my hair short just because- and not fear my head looks like a basketball

I'm sure I have a ton more 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.
