Today

5 mile run

I am so excited. My run today was almost exactly the same times as my last 5 mile run prior to surgery. I guess I am where I was prior to surgery as far as conditioning!1 Woohoo. That didn't take as long as I thought it would.

Yesterday:

I was going to skip the weights & just do cardio but I was there, felt decent so...

45 min. chest/triceps

30 min elliptical, wanted to continue with stairclimber but they were all occupied!

I HATE this time of year at the gym! There should be a rule that you cannot join a gym in January if you don't plan to come all year.

Careful where you say this ccl. I said something like that last year and got flamed. Not so much here, but on other threads.

I agree whole heartedly though.:thumbup:

Yeah, I now do my cardio at work in the fitness cntr. I then do my lifting an hour earlier due start time at work moving up an hour. Makes a BIG difference. By the time I leave about 5:15 or so, it is getting packed.

Ya'll I went to the gym last night - I couldn't even get on a machine...I don't think I've ever seen so many people...and it was raining...so I wasn't able to do anything there...even the racquetball courts were taken. I went this morning and it was much better - am workouts for me! Works out better anyway with my schedule and I feel absolutely fantastic throughout the day...

      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.
