Recommended Posts

I'm golfing today and walking like heck when I'm off the cart. I swing so many times for 9 holes. Does that count as upper body work?? LOL!

It's better than what I've been doing the last couple of days! I have been back from vacation for DAYS but haven't been able to talk myself into doing c25k...

I remember she said something in one thread ( I can't remember where) that she was going to be in the field or something like that.. Traveling and would be out of touch for a bit. But it seems that it's been a long time since then.

Ok I'm back on the wagon... I mean treadmill! :P

Just finished week 1 day 3 AGAIN :D

It was mentally hard starting back up again, but it went pretty good!

Oh and a funny NSV my slim 17 year old mouthy daughter walked in as I was running and sat down and stared at me. I look over at her and gave her a friendly hand gesture :P (just joking ok not really)

She says "what?" Then she says "you look really good" !!!

What the what??? From the same girl that just last week as we were out pointed out my sleeveless arms and asked "are you going to have surgery on those?" 0_o

She said I looked good, and I looked good running! :)

I need a push and shove to get me back on the wagon. I have all the excuses in the world (work and home have been crazy!). Leaving on Thursday for another trip to California (LA this time), so I should be able to manage 2 runs before I leave.

      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.
