Hey there, i exercise on the wii fit plus, it also has other programs like the biggest loser challege and zumba 1 and 2 which also tell you how many cals. I cant afford the gym and here its summer so you can relax with the fan on. I like it more now than when i just used to jump on it for a while. I do just over 30 mins and burn about 170 cals, if theres nothing on the telly ill jump on again!!!

I've put in a gym in my basement and I've added some minor weights, treadmill, elliptical and recumbent bike. I found some of those soft floor mats at allmat.com. Of course, that was all expensive. But the least expensive and most effective equipment I bought, was the Tony Horton 10 minute workout at Beachbody. Not too expensive and easy to use. I added some extra resistance bands, found some resistance exercises on youtube and I'm very happy with the less expensive methods of working out.

I walk outside. Bought all the necessary weather/appropriate clothes and I'm off! Also try consulting with a trainer at the gym. A good trainer can teach you how to do an exercise program with things you have around the house. If you don't have someone, PM me. I can refer you!

      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.
