I know, I know...I'm WAY overdue. I've been getting messages from friends on Youtube too...I'll do one this week. It'll be easier to do them regularly now that Sophie is in school. It was tough to find time when she wasn't here or when it was quiet enough long enough without her interrupting.

Thanks for reminding me! I promise I'll do one this week!

Oh yes I am a total weirdo! I thought it was time that you guys knew the truth . . . classic closet Calcium bingeing, don't ya know. They do not EVEN taste good! Supposed to be delicious vanilla flavor, i thought they were gross and they are calcium citrate, so i took them to my RNY buddies and tried to give them away, they passed them around the whole group tasting them, and they all passed -so the bottle came back home with me. THAT is how bad they are, and THAT is how strong my mindless eating gene is!! Maybe I should keep a box of cotton balls by my bed for my next episode, I might at least notice that they're kinda dry . . .

Oh Tamra the Wii, I want one too! Go for it! Will he really do it if you make the goal?? You might be able to do it; I lost about 3 lbs. a week pre-op and you can always put yourself on the SSF Kaiser pre-op diet for larger BMIs for the last few days if you need those few last pounds (it's sugar-free carnation instant breakfast 3x a day) - but he had better really mean it!!

Sorry Tamra--I hope you can do it! Riley has a good idea to kick it up a notch at the end if you need to. We have a Wii but have never gotten the Wii Fit. I've tried it out and it's a fun game, I just don't know if I'd do it as my actual workout, you know?

We have a treadmill, bike, lots of weights and a resistance ball and workout videos. I feel like I'd get a better workout from those things.

I know lots of people that have it and LOVE it though! I'll cross my fingers for ya, you go girl!

Yeah the instant Breakfast thing is gross, only a couple of the docs there do it I guess and some get a salad with Protein for one of their meals, but one of my friends larger BMI friends had to do just the drink for 7 days pre-op, she did it with unsweetened soy milk (less carbs) and she lost 20 lbs. in that week! BUT - it was medically supervised, so I certainly would not recommend it for more than a couple of days. She had a LOT of weight to lose, too . . . .

Everyone that I know that has Wii Fit loves it, and the ones with older kids TOTALLY make it a competitive family fitness activity! The house where my Tuesday support group meets has one, and I can never get a turn on it because everyone else is always trying it, LOL!!

I have the fit, anyone that wants to play with it come on over. It is more of a slow paced one. You dont really burn much. It is more of a game...

I know actually a lot of people htat have bought it for weight loss reasons and got super bored with it.. Sheena bought it, and the fit she said was too slow.. she ended up with the dancing one.. she liked that for a while.

So tamra u can come on over and try it first, personally the active is WAY better. It is just like any of the fitness videos, infact its better because it can tell exactly what you are doing.. so it tells u if u are wrong or anything.

Forgive me weight loss plan, for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last workout.

Yikes! Even though it's kinda late, I'm getting on the bike. I'm hoping I don't get off for an hour (except to walk around so my tushy and toes stop tingling...)

I have my first class of the fall session tomorrow. My school has 5 9-week sessions per year. One down... a billion to go! The hardest part is that I can't exercise on the nights I have school, and I don't always get to eat that well. Maybe I can walk laps in the parking lot just before class? I don't think I even have time for that! I haul straight from work to Folsom, get my car washed and go straight to school.

Enough talk from me. A little less conversation, a little more action. To the bike! Oh, and my Wii Active. (Oh how I've neglected that thing too!)

      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.
