I did my hike to day I went just over 7 miles and a little less than 3000ft. It took 5 1/2 hour and I rested 4 times with a total of 60 mins giving me 270 mins for the day. I am hoping I get my first fill in the morning so no more hiking for me till I start eating food once more, I have 3 days of blended stuff.

I went to the gym for a 60 min step plus class. It is really fun. My grand total now is: 315!!!!!!!!!! I am a little sore, but it is worth it. It was very hot today, 100 plus a 110 heat index. YUK.

Dan I live in Virginia. We are breaking records this week. It is really humid in this area to begin with. No exercising outside at this time, in the gym is healthier this time of the year. I think the entire east coast is being impacted with heat index and no rain!

      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.
