Hi All!

It's ben a crazy month, but I have been getting my work outs in. I figure we're 1/3 the way through the month, and I'm 1/3 the way through my goal - Yay! My trainer is back from vacation and we have been kicking butt. PLUS... I just got a bodybugg. WOW - let me tell you how fast I get my butt to the gym when I realize I've only burned 1400 calories by 6:00 PM.

Keep up the great work (and congrats on your bandaversary (sp?) --- you guys are doing AMAZING!

:biggrin2:Thanks for noticing. I am a lot more sore tonight than I normally am too. I can feel it in my abs, triceps, and calves. Who knew walking and tricep exercises would work your abs too!!

Thanks for the encouraging words!! I sure hope to be a great post op patient. And surgery is getting closer and closer.:whatchutalkingabout:biggrin::tt2:

Wow, working out with college football players, golfing with hockey players and a cop. You are really starting to become a groupie aren't you?:crying:

Keep up the great work.

As for me, last night was legs and it kicked my arse. This morning was interval training on elliptical for 55 minutes. No workout tonight, day off from lifting.

This morning I was planning on doing both upper body and cardio. But, upper body took longer than anticipated due to a couple of conversations and no cardio was done. I'm going to try to get in after work for about 30-40 minutes on elliptical.

On a sidenote, today is DW and my 15th anniversary!:biggrin: Seems like just yesterday we started dating.

      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.
