I just did my first week one. About half way through I really thought that I wasn't going to make all of the intervals but I did it. Mind you very very very SLOW. It is possible that I will have to repeat week one since I dont know how I will make it for longer than 60 seconds!

Karen- I'll be joining you in repeating week one. I was exhausted today. I can't imagine how week 2 is going to make me feel.

I ordered an Enell sports bra, they look pretty but the hooks in the front look 'itchy'. I had a bra like that once that drove me nuts. But since it comes recommended, I got one anyway!

I really need one that takes the boobs away.

Interestingly (and confusingly) enough, weight loss is increasing my cup size. The rib cage dimension is shrinking.. but all my pre-op bras, my boobs now bubble out the top ridiculously. I went from 46D to 40-42DD right now.

i wanna join but.... running... lots of fear and anxiety there... and its october in the midwest with no treadmill... hmmmmm.... but i need something to get my head in gear again. ...

maybe if i wake up early and try it around the neighborhood before everyone wakes up and sees me...

but then again there will be folks heading to work when i'm lying on the side of the road....

Lol... I thought of it the same way... i have the extra obstacle of asthma to overcome.. but excercise is good for those with asthma.. kind of a catch 22 deal...

I wish my cup size was getting bigger they along with the rib shrinking... My boobs weren't huge to begin with (42b/c)

      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.
