#4 - Exercise.

So far today my exercise has consisted of walking to and from my appointment at my clinic this morning.

And pacing as I watch the clock on the plumber who gets paid by the hour to figure out why our only tub/shower isn't draining. We're 20 minutes into hour 2. Home ownership sucks sometimes.

So I got my exercise in cuz everyone made me feel lazy. This is great motivation to get me exercising regularly. :) I usually do walk away the pounds but my friend told me to try Body Project videos on YouTube and I did a beginner low impact one for 30 minutes and holy hell....I will keep doing this but it was definitely a workout for me. I am sure for a lot of people it would be too easy but since I am just starting it was pretty perfect. Walk away the pounds was a piece of cake compared to this lol.

Day 5: Practicing my deep breathing. I went to the gym and did abs as well as other stuff. I've also done my 15 squats. And then I read that I was to rest today. Oh well. I'll rest tomorrow and not do abs and squats but do my other stuff. I do so enjoy feeling my muscles are there and being used! Happy Friday!!!

#5 Take a long deep breath. Done. 😁 That was easy.

Went to my 6th month post op check up today with my nutritionist, nurse and social worker (3 weeks early, as I had to reschedule my appts), and all's good so far, other than that my NUT wants me to eat more carbs/fibre as she would like me to poop more, she didn't talk about calories this time, which was different. Lab work done a well, but won't get results until a couple weeks.

Love it!!!

#5. Have been practicing 4 square breathing. So so so helpful, especially if you have any kind of lung stuff or also anxiety!

And I've also been sitting on my butt resting all day, too! TY for that! :D TGIF.

Breathe... and then try to breathe again. Work is really taking too much of my time. I am still trying to finish exercise from yesterday... and I too have weekend work shifts where all poop has broken loose preventing breathing. Ok done breathing back to managing the storm.

      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.
