I f(#*@)(# did it! All four miles! It took about 48 minutes which is about a 12 minute mile. WE took only one 1-minute break at the 2 mile mark for Water. It was by FAR one of the best things I have ever done in my life. My friend's husband got pics of us running and I will try and upload tomorrow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Karen / Whos I have a question for you 2. I just started running (Sunday - lol), and I really think I can ramp up (use to play college soccer). The question I have, did your weightloss really kick in once you started? I'm not sure if it's my 3rd fill or the daily running now, but it's starting to clip off. Not complaining, cause I'll just run till I can't anylonger, was just interested in the weightloss once adding running into the mix vs the bike / eliptical / etc. I was doing everything but run, and once I have - WOW.

Appreciate your feedback,

Lulu

oh yes i definately ramped up! I read that if you run 3 times a week for 30 mins you will drop 1-2 pounds a week without even changing your diet!!!

Keep at it lulu!

      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.
