Congrats to you too Candle !!!!

I think part of the reason why the weight has come off faster then my dr had predicted is because I had close to 200 lbs to lose and I burned more calories just to do day to day things.From reading other posts I think it might slow down as I become lighter.Also I've cut out almost all carbs, I used to live on breads, Pasta, and rice .

Linds- my DS weighs 25 lbs, my arms and back ache after holding him for about a half hour I couldn't imagine carrying 3 of him around with me all day everyday !!!

Thindolphin- I've been walking a lot which is harder now since it is so cold out. I try to walk 3 x a week for 30-45 mins. I have an arthritic knee( from being obese) so I am not doing anything too intense. I am thinking about renting a dance workout video soon to see how I feel with that.

Tigger Shorty- I was given my surgery date 5 days ahead of time and wasn't required to do a pre-op diet.

Although for my post up liquid phase I really liked Tomato Soup

Happy New Year to everyone !

Walking has been my main exercise too and I've been slacking BIG time since the weather changed.

I just got a DVD on ebay - Walk Away the Pounds by Leslie Sansone. Everyone swears by it. I'll let you know how I do with it.

The Biggest Loser DVD's are suppose to be really good too.

Keep up the great work!

      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.
