I don't know if I would have had the will power to throw it away' date=' good for you! I ate 2 bites of pumpkin pie guts over the weekend, no crust just the filing. I think I saw a recipe somewhere for making it with Protein added. Gonna have to look for that.

I crochet, and enter a toy dragon that I made this summer.

That is the cutest little dragon. I love it!

Forced myself out to walk 1.5 miles today. Hurting but hey, I'm now to 36.2 miles.

I got in some good running today.

+ 4.5 miles (3.5 of them being 6 min and under miles)

1600 m warmup (8 min) - not too fast.

For time:

Run 3200 m (2 mile)

30 Burpees

30 Thrusters 95#/65#

Time : 16:10

When the running clock reaches 18:00, complete the following for time:

Run 1600 m (1 mile)

20 Burpees

20 Thrusters 95#/65#

Time: 7:20

When the running clock reaches 25:00, complete the following for time:

Run 800 m (1/2 mile) - all out sprint

10 Burpees

10 Thrusters 95#/65#

Time: 4:50

This was one of the hardest workouts I have done in terms of stamina and endurance. Felt good afterwards, but worn out. :) I worked out with 2 others and we were all looking worn afterwards. ;)

You know, my favorite time of the day is about 10 m after I get home, taking a hot shower. Feels so good. I also do some contrast showers, but not every day.

What's wrong? Definitely take the time to recoup if you are not feeling good. This challenge will still be here when you come back strong. Hope you feel better soon. :)

Walked 3 miles today and just finished a 4 mile bike ride. That puts me at 81.5 miles to date. Feeling great and I hope everyone else is as well! Everyone is doing great!

Couple diff things going on. The RA wants to come flare on me so I'm fighting that. My thyroid meds were too high now that I've lost weight. So I was almost strung out and hyper and therefore short of sleep. As soon as that was figured out I had to go off them for a bit and I crashed hard. Depressed, exhausted, worn out. So now on new dosage which hasn't kicked in. Everything hurts, feel like I have the flu and work is insanely busy, so worn out that way too.

All the things you don't think about when you blithely run off to get WLS.

Oh dear, that does not sound like a good place to be in. I hope your body stabilizes to the new regimen of the RA, thyroid meds soon. How long does it take for those changes to work themselves out?

Well the macho me believes it only takes as long as it does for me to man up, suck it up, and get on with it. :) but I suspect I will feel better within 2-3 days with the thyroid and then I'll be in cancun with my husband so I'll stop caring anyway! Thanks for asking.

Hello everyone, i just picked up on this thread and would like to join the fun! I am pre op but working on getting in better shape before surgery. Since the month is half over, I will target 50 miles by the end of month. Did 5.5 miles after work today on the recumbent bike.

      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.
