Bike at the gym is good, but you have to make sure you really push yourself.....it is easy to sit and spin and read a magazine......see if you can find a beginner class. They are great.

I started on the treadmill then went to the elliptical. the first time on the elliptical i went 6 minutes and about died. I can go an hour now, but I have gotten bored with it too.

Now I am all about the classes at the gym. Zumba and Pump it are the 2 I go to. I just love the classes. so much fun, an amazing workout and the time goes by soooooo quickly.

I was a little gun shy at first with the zumba thing... but it's a blast. You're huffing and puffing so hard and trying to follow you don't even notice the other people in the room! LOVE IT!

Do the elliptical. You won't get bored on that!

I don't like stationary bikes.... I don't feel a good workout from it.

I'm not sure if it's realistic for where you live' date=' but I take 2 mile walks outside daily. I despise using the treadmill, it bores me to tears, but I absolutely love taking long walks outside.[/quote']

I agree! Nothing worse than an idle mind on a treadmill. I would suggest that you sign up for a "fun run" 5 k in your area and go online for a training plan to finish it. Train outside when possible. It will give you a new zest in life to cross a finish line no matter how long it takes you. You'll be surprised how many people you pass on race day too.

      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.
