Imma going to try! My husband is REALLY athletic (mountain bike, rock climbing etc)

So he's usually really encouraging, but I have pins in my hip and get hip pain so he's like "that's to stressful on your hip"

Im repeating week 4....and I finally feel completely competent to move on to week 5. Never in a million years could I have imagined running..,under any circumstances(unless I was being chased at gunpoint lol) but I am so proud of myself for challenging myself to do this!

You are an inspiration to those of us just starting out. Keep up the great work!

Hey laura- when are you going to start the c25k instead of laying on the beach. :) All in fun since you said you would rather do a 5 k next the pool instead of on a treadmill in an older thread.

I don't know if I can run.. but want to try, maybe just a little bit at a time! I did download the app and will bring it to the gym when no ones there!!

Cool. That is how we all started : a little at a time. In fact the c25k program is designed to be progressive and you start out with a little until you are comfortable with advancing to the next step.

Well now, that changes the story...pins in your hip, might not be the best thing to go pounding the pavement. Just go slow. The first week is more walking that running. Do what you can, if it hurts stop. Use a safeword or something....

Lol "safe word" whatda you have in mind??

I was only going try running a bit!

It's funny my hip started hurting bad after I started losing the weight. It hadn't bothered me in years 0_o

But it's starting to feel a little better now..:)

      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.
