At my one week post op' date=' my doc said that I was cleared to do any exercise except stomach crunches.[/quote']

I went for my 3 week post-op check up and my doc said that it was okay for me to start walking. I'd been doing a little of that anyway. But I officially started today for about 15 minutes. I feel good. A little tired but good.

Today the weather was perfect. Went for a walk at the lake which went on .. for 5.5 miles. I will be 4 weeks out tomorrow.. started exercising a week ago. Not lifting any weights for now, but planning to do so soon. Actually feeling really good. On Tuesday will be starting soft food. Taking all my Vitamins makes a big difference for me.

It takes time. Some people lose quicker than others. My weight loss is gradual. Not what I expected but I have started walking so that will help a lot. I don't want to lose weight too fast and look sick. Not everyone knows I've had the surgery and I want to keep it that way.

I just hope more pounds start dropping off. But gradually. It feels good to get out of the apartment and off the couch. My niece noticed that I have lost a few pounds :) it feels good to know that people notice.

      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.
