How's everyone doing?

I find that I get a little better every day. Today I drove, ran errands, but that left me exhausted. So I had to take a nap. Each day truly gets better and better. Is it the same for you?

I just ran walking on the treadmill instead of outside. . I was told at least 30 min a day so Imma do half treadmill and half elliptical. I'm also using 3 pounds hand weights. Then in like 2 weeks I'll see if I'm ready to advance.

Ugh! I pulled something. I went for my two week check up today and must have gotten in or out of my jeep wrong. Right below my right boob. (I know TMI) Oh wow does it hurt. I was fine!! Use this as a warning Just take it easy!! Ugh!! Can't even take pain meds. They give me a rash. Here's hoping children's Tylenol works!

Wow that's crazy bc I just pulled something under my left boob. I was also running around yesterday.

My new Nordic Track ACT Elliptical gets delivered and assembled within the next hour and I am excited. Unfortunately I won't be able to use it til Sunday though since I dont see a Dr til then and I had open on 8/12 so I want to make sure I am ok to get on it. Also to everyone are you counting your Protein Shakes as part of your liquid requirements?

I had my surgery Nov 14th. I have had my ups and downs for sure ... After surgery I was diagnosed with blood clots in my right lung. I felt as if I had done something wrong and my weight lose was on hold. I have lost 25lbs so far. Eating and drinking is still tough though. I feel like after one bite I am so full and then can't drink anything for 30 minutes so yes I am struggling to get everything in.

      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.
