Mainly my arms, thighs and stomach. I've lost 60 lbs since Aug 29th and I wanna start toning a little. Thanks guys!!

Great question! and its very important to start toning up/exercising. Stretching is excellent! Besides my regular workout, I have incorporated stretching/toning daily into my routine. One includes using a pair of 2 lb weights, very very important for strengthing your bones/body, for upper body workout. Next, I use a 4 handle stretching band. This increasing muscle tone and upper body strengthining as well.

I can't recommend many specific exercises, but one thing that makes toning exercises more fun is using an exercise ball! You can do crunches on it, and use it to do squats by putting it between you and the wall and leaning against it as you do a squat.

      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.
