Ready to get started



Recommended Posts

I start my insurance required weight loss program in 2 weeks. My insurance requires a 3 month weight management. I'm so ready to finally get started doing something!

We recently moved into a house, I took it upon myself to mow the lawn today, good lord! I thought I would die! Sad part is the yard is very small... My legs felt like Jello and my thighs also felt like they where on fire when I got done. I had to stop several times to catch my breath. I was breathing so hard my throat was on fire, felt like it was burning as I sucked air in and out!

I'm so tired of being this out of shape and everyday task hurting. Really to get moving to my new lease on life!

Have a great weekend everyone!

lol. You have a great sense of humor. I was rofl, probably because it sounded just like me. I wouldn't even attempt that one. I would have died.

Well after surgery you could open your own lawn company. You will have the energy to mow 100 lawns!

I understand the being tired and mowing the yard. I must say that I don't have the exact story but I hate that I have to take several breathes and reve up my engine to go up and down...

Before surgery I had to cut my grass in stages - mow a little, rest a little (or a lot), sometimes over a couple days. My yard is 1 1/2 acres w/about an acre of grass and 675 feet of street frontage w/more grass (it's a corner lot). It takes two hours to mow w/a push mower. Now I can mow the whole thing (with short breaks every 1/2 hour to drink water), do some gardening, play w/the dogs, clean house, cook dinner, walk the dogs... and STILL have energy to do whatever else I want. I have my life back. :-)

There certainly is! In addition to increased energy, my back pain, knee pain, and foot pain is gone. All this in four months! :-)

      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.
