Way to go!

I have been a member of the Y for over a year - now if I would actually go! I used to go three days a week, but, over the summer, they changed the rules concerning children at the gym. My little ones go to the nursery. My bigger one is no longer allowed to go in the nursery with them, but she is not allowed in the classes or workout rooms either!!! How's that for stinky!?!?!?!?! Guess I could go during the day since she's in school, but the whole not being allowed to take her is such a GREAT excuse!!haha

Good Luck - I know you can do it, and just wait until you see the results from working out - hot mama alert!!!

Go Nickie!!

I have only been going for a couple of weeks, but I am starting to notice a difference in my energy levels - and I have lost 8 lbs...

Treadmill, bike & eliptical...........

It's not what I would call FUN - but, it isn't too horrid after the first couple of times.

Good Luck!!

Congrats, Nickie. If you're anything like me, getting there the first week and a bit will be tough, but after that, it becomes habit. Now I feel horrible when I miss it. I enjoy exercising for the first time in my life and it makes my mood for the day good :)

Good luck with it all and know that if ya need a kick to get back on track, that's what we're here for LOL.

Congratulations! You may have to kick yourself some days to go, but once it's done and over you feel SO much better. I try to swim when I get a chance and it makes me feel so good. :)

      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.
