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 :)

      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.
