Woo Hoo, I just got done with daily workout and feel great. When I started this process, I did like the doctor asked and said I would be committed to at least 30 minutes of exercise. I have stuck to that every day except a few. I am just amazed at how much more I can do and how much I am actually enjoying it. This is so weird but so cool at the same time. Today I did 20 minutes on my stair stepper (had to wipe the dust off of it), 20 minutes on recumbant bike, 20 minutes on eliptical, and then jogged 20 minutes on treadmill. Then worked out both arms with some small hand weights. I feel that runners high people talk about and it feels great.

I had been going to the gym for years, but most of the time it was, "gah, I have to go to the gym". Now I found kickboxing and I love it, so I love going. I do feel a little happy to go to the gym too, but I rarely go anymore, since I've been doing 5-6 kickboxing classes a week

There is nothing like the high you get from exercise...you have to go through some pain to get there, but once you are there...it is great! I ran 5 miles today and I feel fantastic! The size 12 capri pants that I bought about 3 weeks ago are kinda fallling off of me. The first 30 pounds of weight loss hardlly made a dent on me...now each 7-10 pounds almost means a change in size. Who would have ever thunk that I would be writing this?

I love going to the gym too now! I have always been a member to a gym but rarely went! I again joined before I had my surgery and barely went but now that I have the lapband I make sure to go atleast 3 times a week! You do get a high off working out, and when I don't go I feel down and blah. I feel wonderful when I walk out the gym and go to my car :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
