For exercise, I walk at least 2 miles 5 days/week. 3 times a week I add hip hop abs, rocking body or WII games and this week I've started weight training x 2 days...

I work out 3-4 times a week and have fallen in love with kettlebells. Can't wait to see the further positive results, once I have surgery.

While Vitamins are imperative to the process, watch out for Bariatric Advantage! I was taking them regularly beginning 3 or 4 days post-op, then suddenly couldn't tolerate them about 12 days out - literally vomited within moments of chewing them. Upon googlin' the issue, it seems that many have been unable to tolerate them. No idea why I was fine with them, nor what caused the switch, but I've made the switch to opurity chewables and am fine now!

I get discouraged alot too. Im 10 weeks out an have lost 38 lbs. I really thought it would be a little faster, Im following the rules about 90 percent of the time. Im alot better off than before before though.

      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.
