No. I'm waiting on my membership card to a gym I just joined. I've gotten so lazy after I retired I sit way too much. I seem to lack motivation. I have a beautiful in ground pool that I've not even been in this summer. I don't know what's wrong with me

I am not sure how far out from surgery you are, but exercise is key and the protein...which is the two things I struggle with. The pool should help with your exercise. I notice myself feeling down a lot since the surgery. I pick myself back up a lot, but maybe you need something (like a prize) to help motivate you. I just ate Mexican because I got down to 250. I ate chicken fajitas (just the chicken and vegetables). But it was amazing.

I know I saw your pool you are one lucky lady!!! I love it!!! I'm so jealous!! Are you walking? I know muscle weighs more than fat so you could be gaining muscle and loosing inches!

No, Vamp I haven't been doing much of anything. I had some fairly severe pain under my ribs which they discovered was a Fluid filled mass, so I really didn't do anything for quite awhile. The pain has pretty much resolved so I think I can get with the program now. If the pain comes back then I have to have more tests. Thanks for the compliment on my pool. I'd love to have you come and use it. I think I'll reward mysel after I get below 200 with a vacation to Hawaii.

      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.
