the 1st works for me. I'm going thru fellow-bander-lunch-withdrawl!

got the "thanksbutnothanks" email today for the job I wanted in IA - that i interviewed for in OH DECEMBER! oh well. and then off tomorrow to see the inlaws who give me that 'i cant believe you quit your job for that chance' vibe. oh well. I think since i'll be in Madison and its my old roomates birthday that i may just ditch the family and spend the day with him...

mandy have you decided what car you want yet? i can see you behind the wheel of the xB!

Hi Mandy & Sonia, can you tell me how long do you guys exercise for and how many days a week. I know a lot of people on LBT say they do it for almost 2 hrs a day in the gym almost 5 to 6 days a week. I don't think my old body could hold out for that long.lol It has been nice being able to talk two you girls I hope I will get to meet you soon Thanks.

Nana, I don't exercise, but I do walk a ton for work. I also have never counted calories. I also walk the dogs everyday when the weather is nice. Other than that, I have a really bad knee so working out is hard for me. ~Mandy

      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.
