Mine is kind of crazy, but I want to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (and back up). The only trouble will be finding someone to go with me, because my husband isn't too outdoorsy.

Mine may be a little random.... I want to be able to swing back on my horse, last time I was able to do it was freshman year of high school... at this point to get on with out a saddle, I have to find a bucket or use the side of the trailer.

I haven't ridden my motorcycle in probably 3 years. One of my goals is to do another track day, and that means losing at least another 30-35 pounds so I can fit in my leathers again. I've really missed riding and as I've packed the weight back on over the years it became less enjoyable and uncomfortable.

I want to be able to run a 5k. Even at my lowest weight in my best condition, I could never run a mile before.

I want to do a tough mudder. I'm still preop and I've gotten up to walking 1.5 miles a day. I want to be happy, so this all about me for once! I have a hard time doing for myself, so I need to start somewhere!

I'd also like to get back into hiking. My weight, my knees, and my feet have all prevented me from going places that I either used to hike, or would like to. As I get more fit and active I'd like to work towards a really big goal, like doing the Camino de Santiago or climbing Kilimanjaro.

      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.
