I need your help so I can walk...



Recommended Posts

Hi there everyone...back in January I registered for the 3-Day Breast Cancer walk. When you register, you commit to raising $2,200. Well, the walk is in two weeks and I'm not at that amount yet. I really want to do this walk very badly. I have always wanted to do it but I was too heavy and out of shape. If any of you guys would be interested in helping me get to my goal so I can walk, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not giving up...I am determined to get enough donations so I can walk with the other thousands of individuals for sixty miles. Don't forget, this is for a very worthy cause, as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!! You can get to my link to donate at: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

Odd that they won't let you walk unless you've already made a certain amount of money. But anyway... you sure you want this in the RnR forum and not Lounge? I'd be happy to move it for you...

My two sisters did the walk last year in Dallas. One was having a hard time getting donations, so we had a garage sale. We both contributed stuff, plus asked friends and co-workers to contribute items. It was really successful.

That's a great idea. I have some things that I really need to get rid of too. I have until four weeks after the event to completely finish raising the money but if I don't have to $2,200 by the time of the walk, I have to give my credit card number and at the end of four weeks, they will charge it. So...I will donate a couple hundred but I can't do much more than that. Thanks!

I wasn't sure where to post this...if you think I'll get a better response in the lounge, by all means, feel free to move it. Thanks!

      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.
