Does anyone use one of these for exercise? I bought one today and had fun with it and got a heck of a workout trying to play tennis!

yes I use mine everyday. I play outdoor challenge against my kids. They are really competitive so I usually end up sweating and out of breath 2 hours later and still haven't won. LOL

I was playing the biggest loser game for Wii before i was in a car accident and that was REALLY helping! You work up a great sweat and it gives you an awesome workout. Its like the show and you have to complete challenges and so on and it keeps track of your progress of everything you're doing. Unfortunately I am unable to use it right now due to several broken bones, but as soon as I am able to I will definitely start using it again. Its very helpful and I would definitely recommend it!

We have a Wii and I recently got the Just Dance 2 game because my 11 yr old loves music so I thought this was something him and I could do together. Has anyone else tried this? And if so how much of a workout you get from that if any?

      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.
