This morning I jogged 1 mile (again-nonstop), then walked with a mixture of jogging for another 2 & 1/2 miles.

Nothing really different to report.

Yesterday during our warm-ups we did abs.... I did something like 85 crunches of various flavors, plus some yoga & pilaties.

Then I belly danced for 40 minutes or so....

This morning I jogged 5 laps (1 & 1/4 mile) at the track, then I also walked 3 more laps and to and from the track, so that's a total of 2 & 1/2 miles for me. I am going to visit my inlaws in 5 more weeks, so I really want to lose as much as possible before I go. I've made it a goal to exercise every day and not make excuses! We'll see what happens......

Sunday, rode the recombant bike at the gym for 30 minutes, did arm weights for 15 minutes (5 pound dumb bells)

light yoga 20 minutes and belly danced 40 minutes.

Discovered that the yoga positions for the Sun Salutation is not a good idea after getting a fill. Ended up with the dry heaves on Thursday... Not good! So no more Sun Salutations for me!

Great idea. I was banded Monday (10th) and MADE myself walk some yesterday!! That is outside of the house. I walked for 20 min about 3/4 of a mile, and was sore every step especially where my port is. I figure if I can walk now, I know I can walk as I get healed. My goal is to repeat my effort today.

Went to the gym today and met with a trainer. She was pretty cool, but I know that she can easily kick my butt if I slack off which is just what I need. She had me flexing my abs (really really sucking in my gut but still being able to breathe), and says that's what I need to be doing when doing ab work. I did 30 minutes on the staionary bike plus 2 types of ab work.

      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.
