I started couch to 5k on Monday in addition to my regular stuff. So today will be day 2 of week 1. Let me say I have never ever been a runner not once. I put on my bucket list to run one 5k and my sister in law decided it would be Run or Dye on June 7th this year lol... So I figured I better get moving I have 9 weeks to be ready. The moral of the story is I finished day 1 the whole thing and was able to do it all!!! I was so proud of myself. I don't know how I will do through the rest of the program but it's a good start!!

Thank you for being such an inspiration to me!!!!!

I work at a very large hospital and walked all over the place for meetings and other everyday things I have to do. I haven't been able to do much exercising yet, but get to see my primary physician in a few weeks and hoping he will write me a script to go to a wellness center that is located near my home. Since I have had knee replacements and have this weight on it is really hard for me to do anything that has impact on my legs. Maybe this way being followed by a physical therapist he/she will be able to get me doing something that will help me with losing more weight and something that won't allow me to injury myself like I have in the past. Here's Hoping!!! I just Loved the comment from Catfish87 made!!!

      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.
