Hey guys I was banded on 06/052012 I've lost 148 pounds and have 55 more ponds to go, but I fell and broke my foot and I can't exercise for 12 weeks. I don't want to mess up.. Can anyone give me some ideals I can stay on track please.

Holy cow, you've lost 148 pounds in 6 months? That's insanely amazing! Congratulations!

I'm so sorry about your poor foot!

Since you're normally active, I would just really carefully count calories and make sure to stay in a reasonable range. I would even consider contacting your nutritionist and asking them what a good calorie range is for you while you're unable to exercise.

Best wishes and I hope you feel better soon.

Any options for seated upper body work with weights or something? May not be your usual amount of exercise but you could get a little something in?

You might want to look at some youtube videos?

Check out resistant band exercises for seniors, for handicapped and just lower body. You should be able to adapt some of these exercises to accommodate your temporary handicap?

Also, if you're not weight bearing, consider some exercises using leg and ankle weights. They're fairly inexpensive at Walmart and Target? Again, check out the videos on youtube for the exercises.

I'd keep the weights on the lower end and go for isometric and longer duration exercises if you're looking to keep your heart rate up. Increase the weight if you want to build muscle?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
