We had a nice break in the weather today! And they had a yearly bike "swap meet" at the local convention center....yep, new ( used ) bike for me today. So was the perfect excuse to go for my first outside ride this year! Still had to dodge some ice covered portions of the trail system, but better than the trainer anyday. :)

And Karen, I so agree with you. I'd much, much rather be outside....riding or running.

It is a GREAT FEELING when, for the first time in long time, you begin to feel a difference....

I first noticed it at an airport, parked a long way from the terminal...and had to walk...I was also pressed for time....

Working out and starting my liquid diet helped. I went in weighing 18 pounds less than a week ago.

Today was a busy day, I was banded this morning at 8:15, and now I'm in a recovery home for the night. I took several walks around the place and drank lots of Water.

Now back to my regularly scheduled visit to La La Land. I go home in the morning.

For three days in a row I have been getting up at 5 a.m. and going 45 min on the treadmill (instead of 30). I really hope to keep this schedule up. I feel good afterwards. My hip joints are kinda sore but hopefully that will go away eventually.

Since being banded on Monday, I haven't been as active as before I'm still kind of sore. But I have been up and about and moving around quite a bit inside the house. It feels like I did 1 billion situps, at least when the medicine is worn off. Next week I will start back at the gym, with light workouts on the treadmill.

Well, sat on my butt for 4 hours this morning in a meeting at my grandson's school. Does that count as exercise? Yesterday I worked in the school media center for 4 hours, and checking in and out books. This is a high scoring STEM school and the media center is very busy. I can't guess how many books i logged in and/ out, but I stood for most of it since it was easier to move them along.

      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.
