I played basketball with my 20 year old son this afternoon, that was a workout!

I am kind of crabby today for absolutely no reason. I’ll go take a walk that usually clears my head.

I was hanging out in the backyard and thinking, what can I take a picture of that’s orange for today. I looked down and voila! I snapped this picture.

Can you ask her to go out for coffee tomorrow or out for a walk tonight?

@KarenLR75 ^^^ this is a very good idea. Hope the swim lifts a little of your funk. Hang in there, Thrusday is a mere 3 days away and pre-op will be over. β™₯️

Day 22

  • :957_heavy_check_mark: Toned and Sleek Arm Challenges done. Did not go out for my daily walk/run that I planned to do after dinner as it's raining pretty hard out right now...AND I've changed into my pj's so I'm done for the night. lol
  • Orange: This is my latest thing-du-jour: Water enhancers. A good portion of my daily water quota has been sparkling water with a squirt of this stuff. I also have other flavours, but this one is my favourite.

I have recently been buying Crystal light and Mio Water enhancers. I need a magnifying glass at the store, I keep buying ones with caffeine in them! I didn’t know that existed until I bought 3 of them by mistake.

I am going to give them to my neighbor or something because I have no desire to have a caffeinated fruit flavored water.

That flavor, (sorry..flavour) looks good, I’ll try and remember to pick some up when I’m in Ontario next month.

Tip: I only seem to find these at NO FRILLS or LOBLAWS grocery stores (despite what Google says). I like them also because they are sweetened with Stevia vs.. Sucralose.

Day 23

  • :957_heavy_check_mark: Toned and Sleek Arm Challenges done. Also did a 7.5km walk/run this morning.
  • ❌ I was just reading the goals I posted I would do this month and was reminded that I pledged to do some butt exercises every day this month...and I totally did not do any. Oopsies. So I guess I have to do some butt exercises now....
  • Smile: Here is my attempt of this on my salad. I clearly have too much time on my hands.

I’m still plugging away at the arm exercises although I noticed I’m picking and choosing which ones to do based on my motivation and mood. I’m headed off to the gym then I’m going to an outlet mall everyone raves about. I’m not a big fan of outlet malls, it always seem like the carry lower quality or things that look like knock offs of their own brand.

Maybe I’ll find white pants that fit, it’s getting so late in the year so now I want a good sale.

24. Beauty. We went to the Smoky Mountains in October a few months after my surgery. It really is beautiful, I was really excited I took a few decent pictures.

We didn’t go to Dollywood but I had to snap a picture as we drove by. She is such a beautiful human. Check out her imagination library if you’ve never heard of it. Ok, tangent over, I’m off to conquer today.

      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.
