You got this! Just take it slow and steady for the longer runs times. Right now it is about endurance and stamina not speed.

I did it! It was easy peasy! Well all but that last three minute run- I kinda wanted to quit, I won't lie. But that's the beauty of any exercise you CAN persevere. And I did it!! Yay! It helps that it was nice and cool and taking it really easy is key. I could almost carry on a conversation the whole time!!

I learned that taking the kids can be less lonely, but I missed the focus I usually get when I run. The quiet almost meditative part of the sport- no kids next time. Ps, large cemeteries are AWESOME for running. Noone around, perfect little roads and even very old little grass covered roads. It's quiet, some shade here and there. It was great. Plus, it's a location that actually reminds you why you're running. ;) it was a nice night.

Edited to add - I think the knee thing is a thing of the past. These fantastic shoes plus focusing on not rotating my hips when I run is working great!! Makes running easier too.

      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.
