felt compelled to add exercise too:

45 minutes Water jog work out

15 minutes lap swimming

________

539 cals burned...yeah baby! :)

I'd be interested in seeing other's daily work out routine. I'm always looking for ways to vary my work outs....right now I bike 3x per week (6+ miles) and Water jog 3x per week (with water weights).

For breakfast I had a big Protein Shake, 3 scoops of Unjury and one and a half cups of 1% milk. I wasn't hungry at lunch. I had 20oz of light green tea with splenda. I had a big glass of Water. For dinner we have some blackened salmon in the freezer that sounds really tempting (its blackened from spices) and I'm thinking peas or spinach will go nicely with that. If I had room for desert afterward (I highly doubt it) I would peel a pluot.

Took an L-Glutamine gelcap when I woke up.

This morning I had 3/4 cups of oatmeal made with Water, couple of packets of Splenda, and about 30 blueberries. mmmmm...

Took Animal Pak multi-Vitamin about 30 minutes after Breakfast.

lunch, I went out with some friends from work and had about 10 chicken wings (nekkid, not breaded) with some hot sauce. I also had an order of carrot sticks and drank some tea also with 2 packets of Splenda in it.

Took a second L-Glutamine gelcap after I got home.

dinner, not hungry really. Yesterday I ate 5 strawberries, I think I'll do the same tonight and possibly a tablespoon or two of Nature's Own Natural Peanut Butter with Omega 3's before I go to bed.

3/4 C light soy milk

L- 2 slices Weight Watchers bread toasted with 2 oz of sliced old cheddar cheese, small dill pickle, and a plain frozen yogurt in a cup as a treat

D-steak tips with sauteed onions and peppers with mini roasted potatoes

Sounds like a lot but only about 3/4 cup worth of food at a time.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
