Thinking of my options



Recommended Posts

I want this weight to fly off me like yesterday. I know that's not going to happen but I 3 weeks out. I need to make a decision about exercise I felled so many time at the gym. My question is do I give it one more try or buy the insanity video and hip hop abs do a little walking and work it out that way. I need thinner thighs lol ;)

Just do something! Like Nike! Start by walking to the corner and back. You do not have to go to the gym to get exercise. Increase as your stamina builds.

I don't have the videos I was trying to figure if I should purchase them or go the gym route.

Any kind of activity is good. I like to walk, preferably outside. Though on rainy days I will resort to the elliptical in the garage. I also have a stretchy band and some hand weights. There are all kinds of things you can do without going to the gym. I've had some videos as well, but I do better when I can go outside and "get away" from things at home. It's harder to quit that way too. If I am a mile away from home I have no choice but walk back home. If walk an mile on a treadmill and I get bored I can easily hop off. I've even thought about dusting off my bike and going on some bike rides with my daughter this summer. My only advice would be to experiment until you find something you enjoy. Have fun!

Ahhh ... I agree Experiment until you find something You like. ..I like them all and in the past. ..after the novelty wore off they collected dust including the gym membership. .. that however. ...had other reasons for that. .. I'm excited to not let anything collect dust this time. .. wish you the best

Any meaningful exercise is hard....otherwise what's the point....you just have to get it into your head how beneficial it is fr you to get out there and do it...then after a spell, you will begin to see the amazing things that are happening to your body and your health...both physically and mentally...then you're hooked, cannot get enough, which only brings about more amazing results...which means you want even more....and so on and so on....

There's a reason you see people out running or cycling everywhere you go......

I walked last night for an hour and it felt great. I didn't think I could walk an entire hour without stopping.

Find a gym that offers free classes :)

they're not mutually exclusive. You can do Zumba some days and go to the gym some other days. As a matter of fact, you can exercise anywhere specially at the beginning. It's up to 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.
