yeah that's me

Hi. all my fellow Merry Loser a lot of us are coming to a 4 week post opt and time to start a exercise plan, what are u guys going to start off on for Cardio. right now with premission from my Dr. I have started riding a exercise bike 45-60 min a day for Cardio after 4 weeks I will start power walking and weight lifting only about 20lbs to tone up. Man what a difference those 25 lbs I dropped made my back don't hurt anymore I am not out of breath riding and walking anymore after only 20 min. my Dr. wants to to do 30-45 min of Cardio 5 days a week but I am taking it a little futher.

this was one of the hardest things to do (post pic ) I ran from the camera long enough I am going to post every month to make sure I do the right thing. so I 'll see you guys in 4 1/2 weeks

it took my labwork 2 days to come back and my Dr. office called me and let me know the result and also faxed me a copy.

Here I go this is at 3 week post opt

1 1/2 cup Frosted Cheerios is my choice with 1/2 cup of 2%milk

I can totaly see a difference I will post mines when I get home.

good luck justin and Congrats on your new healthy life

today I was riding my exercise bike I look down and I didn't see it , my tummy I can always look down and count on it looking back but it wasn't there I had to move my boobs back to see the tummy

UHC didn't require the 6 month diet

I learn doing weight watchers that you have to make adjustmentsfor every 20lbs you lose your calories intake change the amount of calories that your body burn on its own changes you have to change up exercise every 3-4 weeks to shock your body again, so make sure you are burning at least 500 more cal. than you are eating .

my pain was only gas pain about a 4-5 after a few gas x I was fine completely normal by day 4

You are going to be approved I have UHC choice plus Texas I was approved in 7 days the key is making sure u don't leave any paperwork out,you are so lucky UHC is one of the easiest insurance companies to deal with, just as long as u have all your paperwork. I have no medical problem BMI was 42 I had no weight history info, no deits just a letter from Dr. stating that I should have this done.... GOOD LUCK with your approval.

yeah I from N.O so its in the blood, do u get your fills at the surgerical center of Fort Worth or with Dr. Snow office, I get my fill Jan 7 cannot wait I have no restriction, but still stay under 1000 cal. a day

my back would hurt so bad if I tried walking on a treadmill and I would be so out of it after only 5 min. but after losing 20lbs on just with the band and pre opt diet in 3 weeks it motivated me to just do it now I have no pain and I actually like it I have so much energy now that I have cleaned the house so much my husband is going crazy from smell bleach and pinesol so I burn the energy exercising

Love The Pic On Your My Space Thunderwheels, I Love Jazz

I burn about 2700-3500 a day and that with 30-45 min of cardio 6 days a week when I go to spin class I burn upto 13 cal a min. when I play the Wii I burn upto 9 cal a min

most alcoholic beverage have a lot of calories, the Dr. don't want to waste calories on drinks that's calories you can eat.plus you will get drunk faster it will run right though you,:omg: you will be the life of the party
