Pookie,

Congratulations on doing the 5K. That is a tremendous accomplishment!

A thought if I may...just because you did it doesn't mean someone else can do it. Look back and remember all the well meaning people who said to you, "Well if I can lose the weight on Weight Watchers (or whatever diet)", then you can too. That wasn't true either, eh? :wink2:

Again, congratulations. You should be very proud of yourself!

I'm going to have to check and see where you live because the idea of even walking across the field to my mother-in-law's this morning is not very appealing. It's colder than naked chicken in the freezer where I'm at!

congrats on the 5K. I wish I could walk at all but right now my legs won't allow it. Maybe with more weight loss and my legs getting better, I will someday be able to brag too.

Pat yourself on the back...you deserve it.

You Go Girl,

I have looked at the couch to 5k on the net and have considered doing it but never thought I could run like that .....but you might just have inspired me ....I currently WALK 5km on my treadmill each day I get up to a very fast walking pace of 6km hour but I just can't make my self run I think it has a lot to do with childhood, never wanted to run then either LOLL.....

Any way great job keep up the great work.:w00t:

      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.
