@@jess9395 great job, full, half or sprint?

I'm not near full or half ironman level! I don't even have a road bike, just my mountain bike. That's the next step... Shopping for one now!

This was a sprint--which I realize aren't standard length since each one I've done has been a different length! This was .75 mile swim, 15 mile bike and 5k run.

I'm a runner first so I always wish that part was longer, swimmer second and I don't know if my biking will ever be up to snuff for longer distance.

@@jess9395 - I like sprints and 5K's. The risk of injury is low, they are challenging and an upcoming race is always motivation, I have one Sunday and that's why I've been running more than usual.

I have the same issue. My stomach is larger than the rest of my body. But, it always has been. I know that it will continue to go down in size just like everything else. And as far as yoga, I say do it! I was always intimidated too, but I said screw it and went last week to my first yoga class and LOVED IT! I say do it. Don't let anything hold you back!

      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.
