Honestly this far out I can eat whatever I want. I still stay away from heavy starches and focus on getting in Protein. Normal day would be boiled eggs for Breakfast, Protein Bar or shake for a snack, some sort of grilled meat and veggies for lunch. Meat is what gets me full the fastest I can only do about 6oz and I'm stuffed. I like baby carrots with light ranch for a late afternoon snack and dinner can be anything from Greek yogurt with granola and fruit to more grilled protein or scrambled eggs... I eat lots of different things I just don't do fried foods or sweets like Cookies or anything. The only unhealthy things I ever eat are coffee with cream and Potato chips but that's a rare treat lol

You look great. I just had surgery on 3/3/14. I have also been doing cardio,and recently start mild weight lifting.
Can you give me some details, of your initial workouts, amount of time you did cardio etc. Also how much weight did you lose initially.

Your help is appreciated!

Well I really just focused on running at first. I could barely run a mile to start, but I had built up to a 55 min 10K within six months. At that point I introduced body weight exercises like push-ups pull-ups dips air squats and sit-ups. After a few months of that I started with weights, and I noticed it was difficult to build muscle while doing so much cardio, so now on cardio days I do kettle bell cardio workouts and I've noticed it keeps me much more toned that just running did

      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.
