Welcome!!! I say tea absolutly counts as do protien shakes if you make them with water. Get yourself one of those 64 ounce drinking jugs and fill it up each day. Any time you have to use water in tea, coffee, protien drinks use the water from that to make it. Once it is empty you have your 64 ounces in. We are just begininning so anyway to help get it in is a good way to go.

Even awesomer job!!!! Even though I did my excercise today (2.5 miles when I went back and drove it!) I still have to do my 30 minutes of running for my 5K "training". Maybe management is a better word there lol. July 21st is coming sooner every day!

Okay. I just finished with my 25 minutes for my 5K training. For the first week I have to walk 5 minutes then alternate running 60 seconds and walking 90 seconds for 20 minutes for a total of 3 days. I am a little bit tired but I made it through day 1. I definitly need some new shoes though, these old ones are just not cutting it with the lack of cushioning. Feels good to know I can do it though.

Well I got my walk in. I actually went out with my boss and she showed me her walking path. I am not sure how far I went but I did walk for an hour and I am little bit sweaty.

I got my 30 minutes in for the day, and I'll probably go out at breaktime again, too. It's too nice outside to just sit in here...

I am here!!!! I got all my Water in today but not the excercise yet. I was so bummed that it has been storming all day so I cold not go on my walk at work. Boy did I need it today too. Funny thing is that all the stress I was having the first thing I wanted to do was go walking, not eat. It was a pretty nice feeling. Anyhow I have to hop on the treadmill for day 2 of week 1 of the couch to 5K program. I will check back in later!!!!!

Zannie, I know you are out there and I miss you!!!

I hear ya, I've been too busy to walk today, so I'll have to slog it out on my treadmill tonight. I'm on track with my Water, though.

Is it just me, or have the boards been pretty quiet today?

      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.
