Hey, the only other thing I could think of is have you tried those adult coloring books? I know it's not physical activity, but I love getting my coloring books out when I'm bored. Time flys when you're coloring, and those adult coloring books are becoming very popular and you can find them everywhere.

Everybody else has given you great suggestions...this is all I could think of!

Yep, I love them! Can only do a few minutes at a time, due to the A.S. in my spine & especially neck.

Hey, how are you going Mel? I have been offline for a couple of weeks and only just caught up with some of the great ideas offered. I hope you have fiund something to distract yourself. I am one week off being sleeved and am getting the jitters big time. Reading too much what problems other people have had. Mind you for my ffirst week shake fast, i have lost 10lbs and am quite happy, hungry but ok. Now i think well ifnyou can do this why cant you do it without the sleeve but have tried so many times and yo yo'd. Just such a big thing to do to the body. I have no doubt i will ,ose the weight and am fairly confid3nt that i 2ill keep it off, just have the jitters.

      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.
