Not if I go there and club your knees! Know go sit down and let some of us slugs be heroes for a month.

:D

You better hurry. Another week and I don't think you'll be able to catch me.

I am still about six weeks away My Insurance requires a six month managed program.I started in June, so I am almost there! Currently I have taken one of the required four weekly pre surgical skills classes. When they are complete (Nov 7) my file is sent to the surgeon, for appointment and scheduling of the surgery. I have been trying to focus on the plan and losing as much weight before the surgery.

Thank You. The program that I am in has done a good job helping me be prepared. The Exercise Psyiologist has me doing 20-30 minutes a day of cardio, minimum. I have also begun light weight and stretching exercises 3 times a week. I figure it is good to establish some routines now, so that I can get back to it as soon as able after the surgery.

Oh I did so well today! 3.3 miles of walking/hiking uphill, 60 mins of snorkeling half of which was against the current. I prob put on 2 lbs from just swallowing sea Water. Btw, don't waste time snorkeling the Garrafon reef. Nothing to see!

Anyway puts me at 46.7 miles on walking/biking.

Tomorrow is cake hiking and snorkeling so we shall see. Can my fitbit go snorkeling with me, does anyone know?

oh fricking heck! WHY AM I THINKING OF CAKE? Cave. Cave hiking. No cake for me. :(

You know something weird? We went to a grocery store here, and they had samples out. One of the samples was an entire fricking cake! Like a whole wonderful white cake with red gooey things and icing and whatnot just sitting out. I guess the idea was you just walked up to it and cut yourself a slice? I was amazed there was anything left. Like, people were just walking by it and I was going "People! There's CAKE there!" At the very least you would have thought there would be a stampede but nope.

But then I walked by it as well, left it untouched. I guess my subconscious hasn't let go of that cake yet. Sigh.

      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.
