Beversman: You are doing fantastic! Keep it up. My doctor said absolutely no abdominal exercises for 3 months. He said that Water aerobics would be alright after 2 months. You need to give your body time to heal. You are doing great! Keep moving!

Okay, today I did a routine on a rebounder (mini-trampoline). I thought it would be fun. It was harder than any Water aerobics class I've taken. I looked it up on this software program I have and it says that 20 minutes burns 351 calories. I believe it!

650 cals in 1:05, all within safe heart rate zone thanks to my trusty Polar F11 fitness monitor. Back to Lifetime today and tomorrow for weekend workouts. May be learning the elliptical machine soon, as recumbent bike causes ass freeze bigtime.

      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.
