Thanks! I was able to figure it out from advice given on this thread. I did it from my ipad. Never knew what the + sign was for when you click on reply to thread. :)

Ugh I need some exercise motivation. I just haven't been doing anything lately. It's funny, before surgery I was walking 3 miles a day, 6 days a week, on my treadmill. Now I just stare at it from the couch. The two weeks off while I recovered just zapped my motivation. I'm still losing weight but I think if I was exercising I'd lose more.

I just really started exercising I got a treadmill this past weekend and I am seeing the pounds drop over night. So far I am only walking about 30 min at a time but it is really helping. I a also feel better. I know it's hard to get back in the groove but make a conscious effort make yourself a new recording in your head and push through the games your mind playes with you even if you have to start out slow! You can do this!!!!

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 304 GW: 150

Ugh I just had my first bad experience with food since surgery. I was eating leftovers from last night so I don't think it was the kind of food. It felt more like it got stuck. What an awful feeling!! I'm scared to eat anything now and I need to because I haven't eaten much today :(

      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.
