I meant 1200 calories per day....

The diet the dr put me on was a 2 week diet of 1200 calories per which includes 5 protein shakes or bars and one 5oz meal. In that 2 week time period I have stuck to the diet minus 3 days. One day I broke down and ate 2 crunchy beef tacos and a small coke and the 2 other days I had one pancake. Other than that I have had no sugar or sweets and have had no carbonated drinks of any kind and I have been drinking about 2 quarts of crystal light per day. As of last Tuesday I put myself on a more strict diet which contains of chicken or beef broth, decaf coffee, sugar free jello, nonfat cottage cheese and crystal light. So since Tuesday I have not consumed more than 700 calories per day minus today's screw up of eating a pancake. I pray everything is going to be ok and the dr won't cancel my surgery.

I started zumba 3 weeks ago. I love it and lost about 13 lbs in 3 weeks along with my pre op diet. I signed up at 24 hour fitness in frisco Texas. I only pay $24.99 a month for the gym membership and that includes all the classes you want to take including zumba. If the doc says you can do that, then go for it. It's the best workout and burns tons of calories in that one hour session.
