I have been really excited that on December 7th I was going to run my first 5K. I have been training and was excited to reach this goal. I was going to run in the jingle bell run for the arthritis foundation (I have RA). However last week I had some unexpected surgery to remove my right ovary due to cysts. While I am glad to have that pain behind me; I am disappointed that I have to put my goal on hold until another 5k. I still plan to go and walk the 5k with my foster dog, but it will be hard not being able to run it.

So sorry about your disappointment music. But you're doing what's right for your health and I know you understand better than most how important that is. I'm a huge dog lover and every time you look at your foster dog's wagging tail during your walk, you just gotta smile!! Works for me every time my lab wags her tail and that's pretty much all of the time! Lol.

      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.
