What's Your Goal Other Than Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

My husband and I were talking the other day and he asked me "have you thought of one goal ... something you can't do now, but want to when you've lost your weight?" and my response was at first "duh- I got a laundry list!!" but he said ... "no, I mean find something you never thought you'd be able to do and reach for that"

Well I found it!!!

5k Run for Your Lives - ZOMBIE RUN!

http://runforyourlives.com/

"zombies" chase you through a 5k obstical corse. I really wanted to do it this year but I don't want to look foolish flopping around in mud like a piggy, breathing like I'm about to die so I chickened out.... next year, IT'S ON!

Do any of you have something your reaching for??? (other than the normal goals)

This is gonna sound nuts... but I wanna be able to attend sporting events, movies and school events and not worry if I'll fit in a seat! I want to do so much with my kids and husband but am so limited because of my size!! I get so anxious about going places, not knowing if i can fit or not!

I love the idea of a zombie run! Wish we had that around here. Thinking about this has made me realize how much I have accomplished despite my problems and set backs. But I still I still want to zipline and not look silly.

I am wanting to run in a marathon. Not a big one, just to say I did. I also want to be able to go to Amusement Parks and be able to ride. I want to be comfortable on an airplane. I want to run and play with my kids. I know, I don't have a lot do I? Lol I hope I can do this. I want this for myself so bad.

      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.
