Mountain Walks



Recommended Posts

So I live near a mountain that people often walk it has some flat trails, steep trails, and some up and down ones too. Saturday I walked up an up/down and thought I was going to die. At one point tears were rolling I was going to give up but my car was too far to just stop... I had to keep going to get back to my car.

Took a day off and went back today and did the steep side... I thought I was going to die! But i took my mom and lil sis for support... I had to stop several times I said I can't over a hundred times, cursed, and keep going. I DID IT AGAIN! It's hard trucking this body up, and I wanted to stop but I did it. I can't believe it.

Just had to shout from the mountain top (RNY talk) my excitement! Wednesday I'm going back!

We have this some what famous gorge here called Watkins Glen if you are a NASCAR fan you have hard of it. They have this walking path that goes up to the top of the gorge and is all steps (800) in all some flat spots and then Jacobs ladder it's like 400 million steps or close to it right at the top my wife likes to try and kill me by making me walk up the last part. It's a wonderfully place to spend the day. And great exersice

I have been walking 1 mile 6 days a week so I will be used to it after surgery. One night I told my friend lets keep going. We ended up walking all the way to town and back, 6 miles. I wanted to quit a hundred times but kept going. I was sore and down for days after but I did it. Shows that I can push myself if I have to. Althhough that was a little too much at once and I paid for it, it also proves that I am ready for surgery and my new life style. Determination!

      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.
