I had my surgery 11-2-12 i would like to start using my ellipictal again, i am not able to go fast or run just a steady brisk walk. DO you all think this is ok. I just dont have time to go walking outside, and i could do this in the morning before i go to work.

Ask your doctor. I was not allowed to do strenuous exercise for six weeks. I would be safe and call them. That uses a lot of muscles.

Do not start exercise before prescribed by your physician. You can cause complications.

I understand how you feel though. I am going on 2 months out and my weight has been at a standstill despite exercising 3 times a week and walking daily (I am a home care nurse).

Since the beginning of sept i have lost 37 lbs. I am so excited at the chance to gain my life back. I go for my 1st fill on the 28th, and I have been keeping my meals limited to 1 cup at a time which keeps me full for 3-4 hours.

Hopefully that first fill will be just enough for you. That was all I needed. Good you are able to get to the one cup now with 3-4 hours. That is awesome. You may not want very much added. Go slow as you matpy be a lucky one like me. I have only had one fill and almost 11 months post op.

      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.
