Started using a Fitbit One yesterday. 4,489 steps. Way off the 10K daily goal, but nowhere to go but up.

Warning...Warning...Warning

Dub I have a Fitbit Flex also. This is how it starts. I started out walking 6 houses out and back. Now 3 times a week I do 6 miles. It takes me 2 1/2 hours but I do it. LOL good luck.

@@Dub I'm so happy to hear you got this under control and your on the trail to the new you! I'm telling you my friend your doing to tell yourself shortly after your RNY that it was the best thing you've ever done for yourself! Tell BCBS to take a long walk of a short pier! UGH!

I had a much longer reply typed above but the page stated an error occurred, refreshed the page and deleted everything.

This site is not friendly with my iPad.

Never a problem with the MacBook.....just with the iPad.

      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.
