I do pedicures! I love them and if I've been good with my exercising I like to treat myself to one. The last gym I was a member of had a sauna and hot tub in the women's locker room. When I would have a really great workout I would treat myself to sometime in the hot tub and sauna! I loved it! It was a great way to unwind and relax and just feel good! My current gym doesn't have one and I now live in a small town with no hot tub gyms! :( which is why I do the pedis now! :)

Love the youtube! I subscribed! Awesome topic, I'd love to hear other things ppl do too that are not food related!

I remember seeing a quote that was something like, "never treat yourself with food, you're not a dog!" That kind of stuck with me.

I've already treated myself to a new Vera Bradley bag and I'm going to start treating myself to some new undies, which I'm very excited about. I can finally get some "pretty" ones.

I "allow" myself time to relax in my recliner with a good book.

      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.
