So this summer I took my family camping at Burney Falls in No.Cal. I couldn't walk over all the big rocks to make the hike to the edge of the falls. As I sat there watching my husband and kids climb over I made the decision to have wls. Next summer I am going to take my family back to Burney Falls and I WILL hike those falls with them. That is my goal! I don't know why I didn't think of it before but that just feels like coming to full circle. Next summer I will post pictures of me sitting on my rock from this summer and me standing in that waterfall from next summer! Now I'm excited!

Great goal.

I just got a post from one of my CF friends about doing an obstacle race in May called Mudderella. These other girls are well able to do it and want to do it as someone's bachelorette party; I'm the weak link. My goal is not to be the weak link.

I say your post about this. . Sounds exciting! I feel like these kind of goals are healthier (for me) than just watching the scale!

I look forward to seeing your photos next summer! (Burned falls is soon pretty!) I have the same goal but with hiking half done in Yosemite. I tried to hike it with my mom when she was 50 and I was 28 and I couldn't keep up.

I know it's not a super huge goal but it was a turning point for me and I already feel like I could do it so I'm totally excited! It sucks when someone 20,30,40 years older than me pass me up... No more!

      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.
