JULI (are you "J"?) - You were running three miles in 10 weeks after starting from scratch? Or had you ever been able to run? I think that's amazing! I have never been able to run, and can't believe I am considering it now!

Plus, I feel a little "funny" about running at my size. I know I'll push through that, though...whenever I've felt or been told that there is something I couldn't/shouldn't/wouldn't do, that is all the motivation I need to DO IT! (Just a TAD stubborn, you know!)

I'm a little worried about my knees. The left tends to "grind". My BIL runs marathons and swears it isn't what people say...that if you run properly, it won't hurt you. Have you experienced any joint issues with running?

Oh and Juli is J. But I think she means that she started the couch to 5k awhile back and did not continue with it. Unless you are holding out on us J....

I tried running and couldn't do it because it hurt. I was carrying too much weight on me. That was this past April/May I think. I was closer to 265. Now I'm closer to 220. I was going to wait until 200 to try again, but the forces of nature, or BG and D, have inspired me to run.

Also, I have a 6 year old on her first two wheeler, so I was running behind her...and thought I really out to get structured about this.

You are fitting in just dandy by the way. B, is in Texas, if he'd show his bald little head he could give you a bunch of advice. He's a busy man.

Thank you...that will help me keep everyone straight, I hope! So who is "S"? I hear you about the running. I'm going to give the couch plan a whirl and see how it goes...I may need to wait until I've lost a little more due to my knee. Thanks for saying I fit in! (I think? :speechles LOL)

Speaking of two wheelers my 4 year old has decided he wants to ride a big boy bike. My back is killing me from bending down and holding him while he tried to balance. I hope he picks it up soon lol.

I did a mightly boatload of yard work yesterday. We have this gigantor tree in the backyard (one of three trees actually but this one is huge) that barfs up those obnoxious cotton bits in the spring. Anyhow the tree must be as old as Jesus it is so darn big. My whole yard is covered in leaves and at least 90% of the leaves are still on the tree. I hate raking.

Luckily my binge and reintroduction of carbs has not set me too far back on the scale. I weighed today and I am not weighing again until Nov 1. I say this now but I will probably be drooling looking at the scale tomorrow.

      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.
