ha, don't think that one is possible.

actually DH and all his cowboy loving buds are pulling for NY - they hate the eagles much, much more.

Just don't think I can pull for either team. Think I'll pull for the underdog of AZ to go all the way.:thumbup:

I had a rest day. My triceps were happy but my quads are still killing me. I think I may have to go to two rest days a week. :wub:

I don't think there is anything wrong with two rest days per week. No matter how hard I try to go beyond 5-days of exercise, I get physically drained and just cannot do it. So now, I gladly do 5-days EX and 2-days off.

Anyway, I think your doing great!!!!:tongue2:

      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.
