I have been considering getting a Wii to use for my exercise routine. I was curious if anyone else has used to Wii for the exercise, and if so how they like it. Did the Wii work? Was it active enough to provide an aerobic workout? What games did you play? Did you do the Wii Fit? Thanks for your input!

I have one. I don't use it as a primary form of exercise but it definitely does help burn more calories and it's fun at the same time! We like the Wii Fit, Wii Ski and Boom Blox the best but we're also going to buy Dance Dance Revolution. My kids and I are always playing on the Wii.

I just got the Wii fit plus over the weekend, and since Sunday I have been on it for over 2 hours! I have a lot of fun with it!

we also have it at our house. we have wii fit plus and it is fantastic! my husband who is a very active person was even breaking out in a sweat the other day doing it. i like it because on really hot days you can do some exercise from the privacy of your own house. it keeps track of what you do and how much you have burned.

      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.
