VERY Productive Snow Day!



Recommended Posts

5am...off to gym as usual..run 5 miles, sauna..shower....

Get home to find today's clinics are canceled due to the inclement weather...so, time to catch up on my reports from last weeks evals...

3pm..all finished, climbing the walls with all this energy...so, BACK TO THE GYM....another 5 miles, just me, the treadmill and U2 LIVE FROM MILAN...

Feel like a Million Bucks!!

Stop at Boston Market to bring home some chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and beans....

IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!! All because of this WLS - band!! Three years ago it would have been a very different story indeed, and I would not be around today to tell this one...

Not only did this surgery give me my life back, it gave my life back 10 FOLD!

Can't wait for tomorrow....it will be a 12 hour day at the Children's Hospital, working all day with some very sick kids and their families...which makes it all the more worth it...

And because of the band, I know my positive attitude and energy spills over into what can be a very grim and depressing situation....

BRING IT...I'm Ready for anything....again, all because of this Weight Loss Surgery that changes everything!

No room for whiners....

Sounds like my typical day. My morning starts with dropping the kiddos off to school, then getting to the gym. 5 miles on the eliptical usually about 60 minutes then steam room, shower, then finally home for Breakfast yes breakfast at 11. I eat lunch at about 3 dinner at 7 and a Protein Bar in the middle if needed.

      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.
