i was told to wait for 6 wks to do any kind of strenous exercise but he did tell me to walk. i would think as long as you are moving and not hurting yourself or causing yourself any pain it would be ok. just take it easy. you might want to call your surgeon and just ask to be on the safe side. couldn't hurt since every dr anymore seems to be different. good luck!! :thumbup:

All of my friends call me a zumba maniac!!! I tried one class and I was hooked! I go at least three times a week and do the gym the other 4 days! I LOVE ZUMBA! I swear by it and have danced my whole life and was looking for a type of dance that adults could do! I LOVE, LOVE LOVE IT! I HIGHLY recommend!

I tried my first Zumba class. I got my 7 day trial pass at Bally and they offer the class three times a week. Their classes are free with membership. Once I get paid I'll pay a flat fee of $250 for one year's membership, then I can take all the Zumba I want, all over the country, with free child care. (There's typically not a year commitment, but figure for me I'll have to make the committment.) I'm so excited. It's much cheaper taking it through Bally then with the community center or taking Jazzercise (which I also love). I've also been using all their other equipment in addition to Zumba. Zumba really is a fun class!!! I feel great afterwards! I'm so glad that I found it, and for such a reasonable price and free child care!!!

OMG I love love love Zumba...I have never loved something so much as Zumba when it comes to working out....it is the best ever. I go all the time and follow my instructor to her other classes as well as her class in the gym. I could do it 5 days a week n more lol. We do Zumba parties and now there is a Zumba breast cancer one coming up for two hours of Zumba. It's so cool on how many people love Zumba lol it's the best. My daughter only dates spanish men and now she is living with her boy, he is columbian and so now it's cool because we can dance and he knows all the clubs to go to. it's awesome

Hi Everyone I'm a Zumba instructor and it's fun. The 1st exercise that's nonjudgemental. You don't have to know the step as long as you are moving and having fun that all that counts. It's better with a group of people than by yourself. I you go by yourself with 5minutes you will have a friend. so you will not feel alone.:) I say go for it. ZUMBA

I have not ever been a huge fan of group exercise, however, ZUMBA is different! The classes are full of positive energy and it really is sooooo non-judgmental - I love it. It's the first exercise I've ever done where I don't care what's shaking or how it looks. I'm not the fattest or the thinnest or the oldest or the youngest. I can do some of the moves, but am still learning others. That's how the entire class is! Our instructor is great. The only downside is the class is at a large community church and costs $5 per class. That can add up if you go multiple times a week! I think I will do it one or 2 times a week as a cross-training to the other exercise I do. 4-5 times in one week would add up quick! But hey, I used to spend that much on fast food per week, so I guess if you look at it that way - who cares!

You guys talked me into it. I just ordered the Zumba DVDs. I get tired of doing the treadmill and bike. Plus with 4 kids and 2 in afterschool activities, I sometimes can't make it to the gym.

I really want to try Zumbra, but I am ashamed to be the fat un-fit chick in the class. My 6YO daughter asked for the "Dance Your Ass Off" workout DVD and is having such fun with it. I can't wait to heal up and try it with her.

Girl please everyone in there for two purposes, to burn calories and have fun, its like nobody studying what each other is doing, I am the biggest one in my zumba class well i was but the 8 week session has ended, but I kept it moving and i found that some people was asking me how i kept up with the instructor lol because some of them was not catching the steps quickly but when they can't catch the steps they just keep dancing and do their own thing, but nobody is going to think of you that way but you, trust me thats what I was saying about myself but nobody was paying me any attention lol its all good:thumbup::biggrin::thumbup: DO ITTTT

      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.
