My fridge, quite messy, you know it’s European fridge when there is lots of wine inside lol. I never drunk though, it my parents aunties etc etc. We are 5 people home.

First days update: walking much more, enrolled myself to gym, trying to not weight myself every day, lost two pounds.

Fitness plan : will try to swim at least three times per week, walk 10k every day.

Fitness plan / activity: just last night I said to hubs I want to start walking so we got up off our behinds and went for a brisk walk in the chilly (but lovely) evening. We're going to do it again tonight God willing. So my aim is to do half an hour brisk walk every day.

So your thighs are smaller relative to your hiney. Correct?

Here I am playing catch up! I’ll take a before pic when I get home from work. January goals include increasing my activity by daily cardio on the bike or elliptical and strength training 2-3 times/ week. My major goal of 2018 was actually having the surgery! I had vsg on 10/2/18. Proudest moment of 2018 was a Dec ‘17 - Dec ‘18 F2F that I will include in this post. The best motivation for me is keeping up with everyone’s success! Thanks for the positivity and encouraging posts to everyone! January’s fitness plan is the same as my goals for January. Thanks so much for this challenge! ❤️

Here is my progress pic from yesterday. 1 week finished. Today is the start of week 2 for me. I can't tell any difference. LOL. There's about 4.5 lbs difference between the photos.

I've been on a roll with my fitness plan for about 2 months- so happy i found something that works for me.

Sun, Mon, Wed, Thurs: elliptical warmup then weight training- the music is key!

Tuesday is "me day"! I try to do something active that's fun or new. So far I've tried swimming, yoga, and bootcamp. I want to try martial arts, pilates, barre and kickboxing. But sometimes I just go to the gym to sink into the hot tub and hang in the sauna to pamper my hard-working muscles.

I am not perfect about following this plan. I'm getting better about rolling with it if something comes up and I try not to let it derail me for the week. Anyone else have control issues? Weekends are for hiking with the fam or adventuring around town.

      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.
