Started the day in the gym, 40 minutes on the arc trainer. Walked a good bit at work, and came home and relaxed a bit. Just finished a short walk with the puppies; my 14-year-old dog decided she did not want to walk that much. Tomorrow is distant stay in the gym again. Saturday I did 5.02 miles and 33 minutes on the elliptical, I hope I can do about the same tomorrow.

Didn't have a lot of time today but did a quick mile run on the treadmill at the Y while my daughter took her swim lessons. I contemplated not trying to do it but a good friend said moving is moving no matter how long or short. Felt better after I did it so I am glad I followed through!

Went to the doctors office for my first fill today. After that I went to the gym that is provided through my doctors office. I have seven free sessions with a personal trainer, tonight was the first one. Ouch! He put me through hell. He liked that I am already doing a good bit in the gym. Now I just need to continue with the new things he's taught me and continue working.

Working out is not a punishment, it’s a privilege.

It feels so good to exercise and knowing that I’m not only doing something good for my body mentally and physically at that very moment, but I’m also doing it for my healthy future, too is so priceless.

To wrap it up—don’t make excuses today. Be thankful for the body you have and be good to it

      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.
