I have been back to the gym for just 3 weeks now, so although I answered truthfully about working out 4-5 times/week...It hasn't been that long! Just sayin' !:smile:

Every day. I run or do boot camp about five days a week, but on those other days I'd at least go for a walk with my DH.

What is exercise?

Walking from the couch to the bathroom and back is exercise. So, I'd think everybody exercises every day. :smile:

I haven't been in a gym in over 5 years or done a real "work out" in probably just as long but I exercise every day.

I jump on my treadmill 7 days a week, usually for 50 mins and I really push myself to get a good cardio workout - walk at max incline. I also walk my dogs everyday, but that's not much of an exercise - slow pooches. Now our hot Texas mornings are feeling just a little cooler I want to start riding my bike again as well.

I try to do a structured workout at least 4xwk. By that I mean I do the elliptical, bike, walk on the treadmill, do weights, etc. at the gym.

Other days I do other activities. I'll play with the kids, trying to do more running and jumping types of things, take them to the pool, go bike riding with the family, etc.

I try to do something active every day, as much as I can. Some days it may only be 30 minutes.

I was doing the treadmill at home about 5-6 days a week. I liked that okay but needed more. I joined a gym about 2 months ago and now do elliptical, treadmill, and lift weights 5-6 days a week. That 1 or 2 days I don't go to the gym, I usually at least do the treadmill at home for an hour. My body is transforming, but I'm afraid the gym may not do all I need (I'm going to do my best), but I don't have money for plastic surgery.

Added boxing in order to punch through the plateau from hell:cursing:.

I exercise 5 days a week: 45 minutes of pool walking, 30 minutes of Water jogging and then joint exercises for OA of right knee. If I can't get a lane in the lap pool to walk, then I jog in the warm water exercise pool for an hour. Before surgery, I never exercise and now I can't wait to get to the pool!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
