I will join in with ya cause i just got back from vacation and need to get back on track.I usually walk at the park and push a stroller with my kids which weighs 100 pounds.We do that for an hour. I walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes at lunch go to the gym for an hour when my husband gets home then before bed i walk 30 minutes on the treadmill. But for the last week on vacation I did nothing but swim and eat. I did not gain thank goodness. I am feeling like a big blimp. Today I walked on the treadmill for an hour and that all. It will take me a good week to get back to my usual everyday workout that i mentioned above. THis thread will motivate me to get back on track thanks for starting the post.

Skinnygirl,

Wow! That is a lot of exercise. I am doing 45 minutes per day at the gym and that is plenty for now.

Keep up the good work, Monkeymama. Are you feeling good after you exercise? I know I am.

I saw the trainer tonight for an E-Fitness assessment and tomorrow he will set up a program for me. I plan to do the weights program twice a week and continue my 45 minutes of aerobics 3-4 days a week.

Goals for the week:

- 45 minutes of cardio six days (through Sunday)

- one Water aerobics class

- one Zumba class

- look into buying either a WII or a body bugg to start to use by 8/1.

:thumbup:

Yesterday I did nothing. Hurt something and not yet recovered. Today I did 60 mins on elliptical so I'm doing ok.

Don't think I can start weights on lower body and core yet because of whatever I did Sunday to myself. Find out from dr today and go from there

:thumbup:

My overly ambitious goals while the kids are in camp are:

Four spinning classes per week

Weight train upper body three times per week

Stretching and a little abs every time I go to the gym

Try and go to bed before midnight every night

Good luck to all!

That is great! Start out with what you can do and move up slowly. Don't overdo it or you will want to quit. I started with sore knees and moved up slowly so I would not hurt myself.

I started with walking 1/2 mile after surgery and moved up to 1 1/2 miles. Last week I joined the gym. Tonight I will get a program set up. Everyday I do a bit more than the day before.

It has definitely got my weight loss going again.

Good luck!

Well I am slllow to start this week. Yesterday and today were over 100 degrees and it's supposed to be that way tomorrow too. Thank GOD I have a pool or I would be reporting NO exercise the past 2 days. I swam for 2 hours yesterday and two hours today. I actually challenged my kids to some doggie paddle races so I KNOW I burned some calories. My bbugg is telling me I'm making my calorie burn targets too (I guess because I'm cleaning a lot here in the house). I am kind of upset with myself--I've really fallen off the wagon these past 2 days. We had a party on Sunday and while I barely ate, I sure drank some calories (and had a few smirnoffs, which are carbonated--something I NEVER do). I was so mad at myself the following day instead of going back to basics, what did I do? Started grazing on crap! It's weird-all of a sudden I have no restriction! Praying I didn't do anything to my band by having those 3 or 4 drinks. Ugh, I am soooo disappointed in myself. I am THIS close to goal and here I go letting up :-(

Tomorrow is a new day they say, so I am going to really try to make my good choices and steer clear of the crap!

OK it is over 100 degrees here-- My apartment is ridiculously hot... I thin if I just sit here I will burn enough calories to make up for the fact that I am not exercising today LOL....

Glad to see everyone aboard! Juliansmom dont beat yourself up just jump back on the saddle...

Juliansmom,

I agree. Be good to yourself and do something you like (besides eat, of course). Don't be mad at yourself, just set a new goal and move forward! the past is already over.:confused:

Met with my trainer last night and signed up for 12 sessions. That will get me to my vacation in August - going to Glacier National Park and our timeshare condo week at a Fairmont Hot Springs. I would love to be down at least 15 more pounds by then. Hopefully the exercise will help that along.

I had my third fill today and hope that will help my weight loss too. I am taking off the day from the gym since I got my fill. I lost 10 pounds the first month, 9 pounds the second month and 6 pounds the third month following surgery. I would like to get that back to 2 pounds a week.

Great work, everyone. Keep it up!:thumbup:

      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.
