Just Dance with the Wii



Recommended Posts

So .. I am 3 weeks post op (almost). My 14 yr old borrowed Just Dance 3 from a friend of mine. She talked me into doing some with her. We did 5 dances before I had to stop. About a half hour for me because I took small breaks to breathe between.

I hate exercise.. or thought I did. I had a blast. We danced and giggled. She is going to dance with me every night for exercise. I didnt think I would have that much fun but I did. I know it was working because I was sweating like crazy. Maybe all I needed to do was find something fun. I think I can do this now. We need to find more fun stuff to do.

On a funny little note.. I kicked her butt 4 out of 5 dances! lol. I had to stop after that. Felt like I was getting a little icky. We are going to work our way up though.

I hate exercise too. You are right about finding something fun to do and the Wii is great for that. The Resort Games are great for the whole family to do & they get you moving. My husband, daughter & I often have a Resort challenge night where we play against each other. It's great fun.

Keep dancing!!!!

Love just dance. It is so much fun with the whole family n at parties. We have all four of them. If you like this u would love Zumba like I do. I'm always trying to get peeps to try Zumba. I would do it every day if I could n burns so many calories. We need to find something we enjoy to b successful. Good luck to you!

LOL yes I thought so too! I had so much fun with her though. It is hard to get your teenager to do anything with you anyways so she asked this morning before school if we were going to dance again tonight and I said yes.

We are going to try the zumba once I start feeling like I can breathe a bit better. LOL baby steps!

      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.
