Topic: RE: What are you doing to prepare for surgery?
I have a remind in my calendar that pops up every 2 hours that says "Each time I exercise I get closer to my goal" For me, music is key. I put together 3 CDs just for exercising. See my profile for CD1 songs if you can't think of any. Sometimes I walk circles around my back patio deck, sometimes I walk circles in my living room, sometimes I bounce on my rebounder with a bar $100 and well worth it.
I also made a rule that every time I talk on the phone, I must walk and talk. No sitting on the couch. Find what works for you and get those feet moving.
Come on feet, don't fail me now!

There are also unflavored whey protein and egg white protein. I ordered them from www.jayrobb.com The egg whites were a little salty for me, but I haven't cooked with salt for years.
you can put these in jello, pudding (add milk to make it soupy at first), soup, skim milk...anything with no additional flavor.
Amt Units Prot Cal Fat SFat Carbs
Egg White Protein, unflavored, Jay Rob 1 scoop 24 115 0 0 1
Whey Protein unflavored, Jay Robb 1 scoop 26 110 0 0 0
That a nice amount of protein per scoop.
I also just received New-Whey Liquid Protein that has 43g of protein! I got that from www.bariatriceating.com. They have several flavors.
Enjoy,

Well, now that it seems "real" I am doing a lot of research. I am on a 6 week pre-op Optifast diet. I am following it since I know I got to show myself I can control my hunger and behavior. I also began exercising this week. I follow several successful bandsters. I can see that exercise is an important factor to add into weight loss. I figure now is the time to get off my a** and get going.
