I walk on my breaks and over my lunch hour at work. It's all I can really DO at work. I didn't feel like I was getting that much out of my 15 minute mini-walks, so I went to Kmart and bought weights to wear on my wrists and ankles. 8 lbs total.... And HOLY COW! What a difference!!! I totally broke a sweat, and feel like I got a great little mini-workout! Now, if my bodybugg would just get here, I'd know how many calories I burned.... :):whoo:

Congrats travelgirl....that's awesome! I hate the fact that all I do is sit around at work. By the end of the day I feel sooo lazy!

I hate sitting at a desk all day, makes me feel lazy, too. In fact, I was a size 12 right up till the time I got a desk job, and started ballooning immediately...all the way up to 24-26 over the next 7 years or so.

I should get out there on my lunch break and walk around. It really does make a difference what type of job you have too, whether your running around all day, or just sitting. The farthest I walk all day is up a flight of stairs to go to the ladies room!

      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.
