I was just wondering if there is anyone in the CDA Idaho area who'd like to start walking the Centennial with me? I'm a fair weather walker..so fair warning! I'm currently in PT for hip abduction rehab so it won't be a marathon race, just general getting in shape thing!

I’m not near you, unfortunately, but love the idea of a walking buddy. I bet an accountability partner would be really good for me too. If you don’t find one right away though I know alot of people tend to walk the malls. (Not sure what the centennial is so forgive me if that’s already your plan). I would assume it’s earlier in the day when it’s less busy but can’t say for sure. I was thinking about doing something like that. Thinking I may meet someone there and we can sync our schedules.

The Centennial is a paved walk that goes along the Spokane river and Lake Coeur d'Alene and then some, its 60+ miles long:

We do have a "mall" but its failing so it would probably work for walking well! I hope you find a walking buddy! I just thought I'd be nice to have a bariatric walking buddy. 😁

Oh wow. That sounds beautiful. I’m sure you will find someone to join you, but. I agree It would be nice to have someone that is on a similar journey. My Fingers are crossed you find someone here that’s nearby.

Thank you. I should point out, since I've had it pointed out in another post, that I can appear as uncaring by using humor. So, for anyone in CDA who might be considering my request be aware I tend to laugh and use laughter to deal with struggles - so be prepared! In other words I tend to be a smart arse, but a well intentioned one. 😋

      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.
