As of now before surgery, I take 10,000 -15,000 steps a day depending. My set goal is always 10,000.

After surgery, my Doctor said to change the goals. Start at 3,000/4,000/5,000/6,000 etc. each day until I get back up to my current goal.

10,000 steps a day is phenomenal. It's the equivalent of five miles. I used to take my dog out twice a day and struggle hitting goal. I'm usually between 6000-7000.

My goal on S health is 6,000 for now. I used to work retail so 10 to 20+ thousand steps a day wasn't hard to do. Especially if i met with my boyfriend after work and walked around the city before going home. Now that i babysit i don't walk as much so my goal is much lower but i usually strive to make over it. I walked 13+ thousand steps Friday and 8+ thousand on Saturday. It's not too hard getting steps in living in nyc.

10,000 is hard to get in. I walked up and down 5 flights of steps and did the 1st day of couch to 5k plus walked the dog and still didn't hit that.
Good for you that get in that. I'm striving for it.

      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.
