My sleeve win for yesterday occurred at my gym

It's a 2 story gym with stairs and an elevator to access the upper deck where most of the cardio gear is.

Normally I use the gear on the first floor. Knees were shot decadess ago with surgeries from football injuries. Gaining weight every year sure didn't help. Further injuries from hobbies finished them off. :angry:

Anyway it was dead downstairs....zombie land. I could hear people shouting in unison upstairs.....saw them running laps on the indoor track and their were some classes going on.

I took the stairs and found a treadmill with a great vantage point for the next hour or so. Being surrounded by motivated folks is always a good thing.

Had that post treadmill weirdness pumping through my body afterwards that made the stairs a dicey endeavor afterwords. Did that old man stair decline.

Heading back there in a minute, too.....back upstairs.

      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.
