Zannie, I can TOTALLY see it in your face! The little puffy bags under your eyes are gone, and you look healthier!

I have the same deflated boob thing going on as you do. I keep telling my DH, that pretty soon, I'll have to ROLL them up to get them into a bra. So sad.

Zannie you can definitely tell the difference in the face. In the first pic I can barely see your eyes and in the second one they are sparkling! I can see a body difference too. You are beautiful and doing so awesome!

Get up 30 minutes before you usually do and get on the treadmill. Have your workout shoes and clothes right next to the bed. Better yet sleep in your workout clothes and put your shoes on first thing. It sucks, you will hate it no doubt. But once that 30 minutes is up and it is now the normal time you would ahve woken up you will be able to say "damn I am done workiing out, I don't even have to look at the treadmill if i don't want to". It will be worth it once it is over with. The first few times are rough but it gets easier. It seriously makes you feel better. It makes your day better. The farther along you go i nthe day the harder it is to workout. Especially if you hate doing it. Get the bad over first so you can enjoy the good for the rest of your day.

I definitly need to do this because by the time I finish working, Im pooped out. I just wrapped up work at 9 and be at it since 8 this morning. i'm not going to meet my goal, since i've yet to exercise:think

Zannie I see a difference too. Your face is slimmer and agree with Babygirl, your eyes are more noticable. You're doing great.

Babygirl you look fabulous too. I can tell a difference. You just glow.

Awh, shucks...thanks guys! :)

I've worn myself ragged & am off to bed... And, Babygrl, that extra Protein (;)) on your ride is EXACTLY why I do my exercise inside! :biggrin1:

Keep up the good work, everyone!

I've completed day 6 of 20 at 1 hour 15 minutes each. :banana

It's not that bad going from two days to three days a week. I thought it would kill me for the bit of extra time.

DH and I went for a 40 minute bike ride tonight, I have no idea how far we went, but I feel awesome. It was SO nice outside today, it rained all morning and most of the afternoon, and then the sun came out and it was beautiful! I hope it's nice again tomorrow evening, so I can go again! I rounded out my hour on the treadmill.

We walked about 4 miles yesterday since the weather was so great. My dd wants to do it again today. Saturday we're going hiking at a place called "garden of the gods", huge cliffs, etc once my dd gets home from camp.

Well since I don't think my weigh in is going to go well tomorrow I decided it was time to check the numbers. I have lost 7 inches since last month. 1 inch each in the chest, each thigh, hips, waist, 1/2 inch in each calf and in each arm.

That's great! I need to have my DH take my measurements....I have no idea where I am, but my size 18 pants are getting more comfy, even though I haven't lost anything in about 3 weeks.

      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.
