Hi Everyone,

It's been a long time since I posted hope everyone is doing good.

I finally got some much needed sleep and have been really working at the the treadmill. I still need to play catch-up though.

Was able to walk the last few days, hopefully it will continue.

My weight has fluctuated so much this past week. I gained a few pounds and then they just started to fall off. Not sure what is happening there so, I am back where I started!

I've done 360! Woo hoo!

My ankle has been bothering me (long story) so I switched to swimming laps (and "running" in the pool) and I love exercising in the pool.

Welcome back MM! How was your trip?

Put me down for a total of 400 minutes. This has been great to know that I'm being slightly held accountable for doing some exercise. I'm also feeling good too!

Hey, thanks for the kick in the butt, and I have only been banded a week but have already started walking 30 minutes a day! I will continue this 5 days a week, increasing my speed every day. Thanks so much!

Hey. I'm at 195 minutes. I've begun to realize that for me - this first month - I have over estimated my ability to get to the gym and do the exercise. Lol. I'm semi-pleased with what I have done, but I know I could do better. I know I won't reach my goal, and I'm cool with that. I think for August I'm going to stick with around 500 minutes. 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.
