hi all just wanted to share with you all.

I started swimming again in june until end aug.

now restarted again as got free swiming cupons that will last me until end of jan.( so no excuses for not going) lol

anyway what im getting to is that today I just beat my own record. I was doing 20 lengths of pool about 1/2 mile in 60 mins.

well today I did 26 lengths in 50 mins and 16 of them was without stopping.:thumbup: (but my arms do ache a bit). as was all done on back stroke.

sorry for bragging but im mega pleased with myself:wink_smile:

take care al

Ann xx

That's really good Ann - I'm very pleased for you. Swimming was never my sport of choice (cycling is), but I'm really glad that you can see the progress you're making. Keep it up xx

I go swimming 6 days a week and it certainly tones your body. The Country club is really lovely and being a pensioner and going off peak it only costs me £5 per week for all the facilities. Plus I have made lots of friends going there and can now swim 10 lengths but I need to up my speed.

      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.
