I have been walking everyday for a hour. And I feel so much better. I think pushing myself helps me. I''m going to the beach next week and I can't wait to walk on the beach. I think if you set small goals for yourself it will help you in your exercise goals.

I'm worried about this week too. I am in Texas visiting family today and tomorrow, so I'm going to miss my workout class (I do circuit training 3x/week at Lifetime Fitness M/W/F). I'm almost addicted to the class now, so it hard for me to miss it.

This week is going to be a real challenge. My SIL is having gastric bypass surgery on Tuesday so we will be hanging around the hospital for a couple of days. I guess I will be walking the halls. Gotta try to find a Curves in the town where the hospital is. I'm still going to try to do at least 30 minutes every day.

Monday - Curves Workout

Tuesday- ?? but something

Wednesday Curves workout

Thursday -Walking 45 minutes

Friday - Curves Workout

Saturday - Curves Workout - official monthly weigh in.

I finally made up my mind today to go walking. I have ridden my stationary exercise bike a couple of times since surgery and walked around the backyard with the dog, but that's about it. There is a park near me with a walking track, so I hauled the kids and the dog over there with me. I made it around the track twice. It circles around 4 softball fields, but not sure exactly how long it is. It took me around 30 minutes. :blushing:

I walked 2 miles Saturday and did it again last night! Here is my plan for the week. I'm not released to do much more than walk, and we have a really busy week, but I think 3 days are do-able and a good "starting out" goal:

Monday - 2 miles

Tuesday - will walk 2 miles

Wednesday - my daughters have dress rehearsal for a dance competition, no walking

Thursday - will walk 2 miles

Friday - going out of town...maybe walk in the morning?

I walked on the track again today. My oldest daughter is home for spring break and she went with me! We made it around the track twice in a little less than 30 minutes.

I haven't been able to walk at the walking track yesterday or today. I have heel spurs and they really hurt from those 2 days straight of walking around that concrete track. I decided to rest for 2 days, at least from walking. I'll do 20 minutes on the exercise bike tonight.

      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.
