WOW Stephanie!!!!!!!! 2200 minutes

I was banded on Aug. 31st and have been back at the gym for the last 2 weeks. Today I started a bootcamp 2 days a week. I can't believe how bad a mile kicked my butt. Anyways, I will start my first challenge with 1000 minutes and can only aspire to be like Stephanie and her 2200. You go girl. Wish me luck and may I have the strength and willpower to complete my goal.

OH, BABY! I LOVE THE EXCITEMENT IN HERE NOW!

I may have to reevaluate my goal. I pulled two muscles...one in lower right back and the other is the left obliques. (Those freakin' reverse crunches did the obliques in!) I'll know more in a couple days. This has happened before...hurt like hell on my right obliques...but I pushed through and the excercise worked the soreness out within a few days. This time it hurts worse, though. We will see!

I am not liking the speed at which my scale is dropping. But my clothes are getting looser, which is awesome! And when I was driving today I noticed my arm looked weird. What was it? MY TRICEPS! Woo-Hoo! I am LOVING that part! I'm so tempted to take my measurements, but I will wait until the 15th of the month, per plan.

Stefanie, you are too funny. That sounds like when I found my hip bones.

I did 30 minutes yesterday and 30 minutes this morning, for a total of 60 so far.

      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.
