December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

I'm trying to tweak a ricotta-almond flour pancake recipe. I could have sworn I saw one online that was mostly ricotta and egg with a smidge of almond flour, but now I can't find it.

Trying to get some ideas - I've never been into exercising... :unsure:

I love, love, love to hike! I don't mean mountains...just local state parks. I like being outdoors. I like going by myself. Get lots of thinking done...if you go long enough, you stop thinking about anything stressful and just focus on finishing! I like doing the longer hikes (usually take me 2 hours to finish) and usually in a loop. That way, you have to finish! You can't just stop. For weights, I actually enjoy going to the gym. I really don't like doing treadmills or other cardio indoors.

Honestly, I haven't been doing much. I was walking when the weather allowed, and this month I started the 30 day Arm & Thigh Challenge. Wednesday I start at a gym with a personal trainer, so we will see what she has me doing!

I wasn't allowed to do much but walk for the first six wks and just started back today. My aerobic fitness is shot and I don't have much muscle strength. I'm not sure if this is the diet or the break from excercise.

I tried the elliptical (which I used to do before), and my heart rate shot up to 155 immediately (for fat burning I'm supposed to keep it at 130 - 145). The bicycle (which used to not be a challenge) was better.

Also, I tried some hand weights, but couldn't lift them as many times as before (10 vs. 20 before).

I guess I just need to keep at it.

      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.
