Try everything! Do you have any friends that do any group exercise classes? I am not someone that likes to go to classes alone so it helps to go with a friend. Do lots of different things to see what you enjoy. The more you change up your routine the less likely you will get bored with it. I have a bike and I try to ride a couple days a week I try to swim a couple days a week and I really try to walk some every day. My daughter and I have tried all kinds of classes from Zumba to yoga and very time I finish a class I feel like I have accomplished something. Classes seem to push me to do more than I would if I was just exercising by myself. Good luck to you.

Normally, I walk outside, as I also, find walking on the treadmill boring! I have been doing laps in an Olympic size pool, lately. Wow, you really realize how out of shape your arms and legs are after a work out in the pool. I have been concentrating on proper stroke. I like the crawl, but also, back stroke. I only swim for about 45 mins 2 x a week as I take my Grands for swim class and like to be dressed and ready for them when their 1 hr class is done.anyway, thought I would share. It is real helpful to build up leg muscles and help with those batwings!!!Karen

      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.
