way to go this is so much more than just about the food. it is a whole lifestyle change proud of you

THANK YOU appreciate that and you are spot on!!! I think I saw your reply to someone who said they couldn't work out and you have them a nice reminder of this is how we got here (if that was you:)) but yes exercise is critical. Sure the results of surgery are great but not enough to sustain us. Plus our bodies NEED exercise to be healthy. Even if it's a walk vs hard core workout. Something is better than nothing...we have to push pass our feelings! I was tired yesterday but reminded myself this is a new me and lifestyle I'm committed to but committed to me and good health in 2017 and going forward too. Way to go to you too!

danaymacklin with that attitude you will be one of our success stories. we just have to keep pushing. I sometimes get off track but it only takes a few lbs of gain to jump start me back to doing what I need to do. that is why these boards are so great. between this and several closed Facebook sites I can get all my questions answered and get the encouragement I need. best of luck to you

Is an app that helps you work your way up to doing a 5k. Just search it in your app store. It alternates walking and jogging/running for various times to work you up. You can repeat, pause, whatever.

Awe thank you, I receive that! Yes we do!

Haha I can believe that and know I will be the same not going back to where I came from ever again. Can you recommend or refer me to any Facebook groups? Would appreciate it. Thank you and you too!

      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.
