Yo Carol,

You aren't comparing yourself to other people are you? Chances are they have a bigger BMI...

Really, C~

The further you get away from your surgery date the more you'll realize you can't compare yourself to other people...

Think about exercise not so much as something you have to do to lose weight but as something that you want to do to be healthier and feel good. That might be a stretch, I realize, but try to shift your focus, you know. And really you can not CAN NOT do this with out exercise if you really want to transform your body.

Hugs, etc.

I am happy. I am going to try and sell my bike....maybe be able to get the other faster?? If not, then that is ok too.

I would keep it if it does not sell, wont matter, but it is too big for my younger daughter to ride....she is only 5'1 so she needs a small frame size and this is a medium.

Oh well.

WHich trek do you and your husband have? I love riding, it is better than going to a pet store....and they use to not be able to pry me out of there, now it is bike stores...LOL

      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.
