I'm sporadic - but I get to the gym as often as I can - usually 3 x per week. My battle against the Evil Eliptical will continue...

I am the official dog walker in the house now. Two brisk 1 mile walks twice a day, which totals about 40 minutes. Our route includes some serious steep hills, too!!

I can definitely tell a difference since I started doing it, and since I have lost weight. I still sweat and pant a little, but my knees don't hurt anymore!

Sooo question. This may sound silly, but when is it okay to start doing some serious ab workouts? I go to the gym every night but have been very timid to start the Ab classes.

I started back doing ab stuff at 6 weeks out. Though I think I'm still not doing ab wise what I was doing pre banding. It doesn't hurt, but after 6 weeks those muscles just don't want to work as hard. LOL They were probally one of my weaker areas too before banding. I do crunches in body sculpting class, and I do 2 sets of 12 @ 75lbs on the ab machine. On the side lateral ab machine I do at 80lbs 1 set each side. Not sure if thats the kind of info you are looking for...hope it helps. Basically if you do something and it hurts or isn't comfortable give it another week and try again. If you are using weights...start back at a lower weight level.

5 hours a week of Shotokan karate, :boxing:and 33 minutes a day on my Precor eliptical. Makes me feel like a hundred dollars! :flame:

Princess N' the P. Judging by the photos you post on this site once in a while, it looks like Pilates is just the thing for a power-body building super hero like you! Rock on!

Started exercising today with my friend Tara. She came over today and we each did 20 minutes on the bike, 20 minutes on the elliptical machine, 80 crunches on the AB Lounge (4 sets of 20), free weights for our arms and my Pliates machine. I am going to be sore in the morning but it is going to be worth it. :puke:

I've been going to the gym every other day and 45 minute walks + weights on my day off. I spend 35 minutes doing cardio on the treadmill, then I do the arm circuit, then 100 sit ups. The only way I benefit is if I actually feel the burn, but it took a couple months of exercising to get through the layers of fat to even feel the burn. Today I have a little baby burn, so I know I did good :D

I just started exercising, but now I can 30 minutes on gazelle in the morning, and 30 minutes tae-bo at night.

One day I did 15 minutes on gazelle in morning, another 15 minutes at night + 30 minutes tae-bo. I seriously paid for it the following morning. I had a horrible headache, so I think I will stick with one thing at a time.

I've also done walk away the pounds. I think I'm going to start back doing that. I worked my way up until I was able to do the two mile walk, so I think I'm going to try and combine the one- and two-mile together. (it's two exercise sessions on one DVD)

      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.
