I don't waddle like a duck anymore when I walk



Recommended Posts

As I was walking in the parking lot of my office building. I noticed my shadow. I love looking at my shadow because it outlines my progress. The other day, I noticed there's been a change in the way I walk. I no longer waddle when I walk. As I run towards my weight-loss goal. It helps to see that I have made changes. I still have to be careful not to run into park cars as I look down. My legs are looking longer and stronger here's to the future. I'm learning how to work this sleeved life! ????????????????

My body's automatic changes in how I move -- and my own conscious efforts to change how I move and how I hold my body (standing straighter, shoulders back, tits out, moving forward not side to side, holding my legs in closer, not out, not leaning on walls, head straight up, eyes forward, not down, etc.) has made a big difference in how I feel and how I present myself to others.

When I weighed so much more it was hard enough just to move to get somewhere and then to slouch or collapse as soon as I got there -- whether it was across the room or across a parking lot.

There's so much to this journey. So much!

I love this topic! Lol...I was thinking the other day that I need to learn a better walk...it didn't occur to me that it may just unveil itself along with the rest of my body!

      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.
