Walked another 30 minutes home again today. And don't worry, when I make it to onederland you will probably hear me yelling all the way from Redmond, OR. I weigh everyday and then average for the week, and then chart it using excel. For those of you who don't know, I am a chemistry teacher! It is all about the data. According to my data and scientific figurings, I should be in onederland no later than Nov. 13. I am going away for the weekend, so I am a little worried, but I promise to let EVERYONE and their dog know! Thanks for the encouragement.

Curves has a new program which you can sign up for that will keep track of how hard you are working on each machine. It makes you push yourself to work as hard as you can. You get a little tag to scan at each machine as you go around the circuit and then the monitor will show you your reps and you do your best to keep the light at a solid green. Orange means you arent working to your goal and flashing green means you are over your goal. When you are done working out you can look at the computer to see how you did that day. Which muscles you worked the hardest, how many calories you burned and if you hit your goal overall. If you go over your goal it will bump it up for the next day or if you are under it will take you down. When you first sign up for it all your measurements and weight is taken again, along with your goals. All of this in entered into the computer to determine at what level you should be working. Since starting this I realized just how easy I was taking it before. It sure is worth it though.

Hi Gang!

Sorry it took me so long to return to the board, but I have been traveling for the past nine days. I'm back now and doing fine.

I am pleased to report that I maintained my commitment to exercise while traveling. I took long walks whenever possible and I worked out in hotel gyms when there were no other, better options.

Yesterday, I took three flights and spent 13 hours in airports and on planes, and still managed to do a 30 minute, fast-paced, walk at the Miami airport -- which is a (surprisingly) good place to do a walk.

I am glad to see that everyone is doing so well :clap2::clap2::clap2:!!!!

Talk to you soon!

      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.
