Hey! Congratulations!! We're at about the same place (close to same starting weight and about the same lost)! Yay for us!

I was just peeking at your blog, and I wanted to tell you that when I first started REALLY exercising, I was going every stinkin' day. And when I quit for a few days, I lost like 4 pounds. And when I DID return to the gym, I was STRONGER.

They say your muscles tear during a workout and you have to take a day off here and there so they can repair.

Now I never go more than 2 days in a row, but I try to work out at least 4 days a week. When I do that and low-carb diet, I lose about 1/2 pound to 1 pound per day.

      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.
