Relax.

Enjoying the portion of my work schedule where I can relax over a few days off.

Went out to Target this morning and bought a Croc-Pot to replace a broken one. Will get the stuff for a pot of chili tomorrow. Great Protein source.

Heading to the gym in a few to get my daily dose of killer tunes, sweat and motivation from the folks doing work around me.

After that......maybe gonna see Concussion or Hateful 8.

Day of leisure.......about what my Cavaliers did last night.....played a game of leisure and got their butts stomped in an embarrassing way.

Sounds like the perfect day (aside from the Cavs losing). Keep up the great work!!

You're right Fatty. Every day gives us the opportunity to have a fresh start. The past is spent already and it's time to move on. Today I will do the best I can to (1) get in all my Water, (2) make sure I do all my Protein, and (3) exercise at least 30 minutes plus get 4500 steps in. After that, the rest will be gravy. Well, gravy is not the right term for my new lifestyle, so , the rest will be healthy. My secondary goals will be to hang around 900-1000 calories and ENJOY THE RIDE.

Love your optimism & outlook Fatty! :) Everyone needs a cheerleader now and then ... good to know you are in my corner.

Today my focus is on increasing my fluids & liquid Protein. Been sick the past few days and not yet back to solids (makes my tummy queasy still), but have had trouble getting in ANYTHING before now. Also bumping the walking back up after being so lethargic ... shooting for 8500 steps today.

Have a great one everyone!!!

Today I WILL exercise. Oh and I promise not to nap today. (Got laid off almost 3 weeks ago and I have allowed depression / feeling sorry for myself to beat me more than a few of those days.) There... I put it in writing so now I have to do it! :)

Just had a NUT appointment and she said I could move my calories up to closer to 1000. Woohoo! I have been staying closer to 800 to 900. Looking forward to seeing what healthy choices I can work in.

And I am headed off to my very first trip to Trader Joe's. Wish me luck!

Sorry to hear you got laid off and equally sorry to hear about depression. I suffer from depression as well so feel free to PM me any time you need to talk or vent.

Good luck at Trader Joe's!!!

One thing great about life is that another day starts anew every 24 hours giving us a chance to start over and make it our own.

Good luck everyone!!!

I'm happy (and very sore) to report that I shoveled all of our big driveway and it ONLY took 2 hours. Lol. But great exercise.

      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.
