Spent 6 days on a ranch with no cell or wifi, walked 2 miles a day, a lot of uphill and stuck to my post op diet. Lost 0 lbs..... Frustrated, but trudging onward.

hang in there! It sounds like the dreaded third week stall. I actually didn't stall at that point. I'm going through a stall right now that has lasted over two weeks. The scale will move again!

I had a stall that started day 1 of my third week post-op. Scale didn't budge for 14 days. It's finally moving again!

Doctor gave me the ok to do some easy walking now so I'm jumping in. Did 1.3 miles this morning, nice and slow. I'll be happy if I can get 20 miles by the end of the month.

I just can't let y'all have all the fun.

20.5 mile bike ride in the gorgeous october weather! Must have been feeling the urge for some civil disobedience cuz I rode on the Schuylkill River trail which skirts the edge of Valley Forge Park, currently closed due to the government shut down. However the trail was open so I guess it's considered PA's responsibility and not the Feds. Bummer, was really hoping to stage a protest! NOT! Everyone is doing so great! Oh yeah, that puts my total at 60.1.

Okay, apparently the batteries are low on my scale, I went for my official weigh in at the dr today, 6.5 lbs for a total of 39.8 for my first month. I Guess all the walking at the ranch last week paid off. :) Now I can start the gym and bicycling, super excited.

The workout yesterday is the start of a 1 month nutritional challenge at box. Person who loses the most weight and shows the most improvement in time takes home the pot. Everyone contributed 10 to participate. About 50 entered so 500 pot. yay!! I won't lose a lot of weight, but I am going to strive for workout improvements. I want to get better at double unders, kipping pull-ups and rebound box jumps. We will be checking this same workout in 1 month.

Hit 120 m for October today.

      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.
