No on RockStar, yes on THE ONE! Did you watch it yet? If so, I will let you in on a secret. If not, I won't ruin it for you! I will say it SO MUCH better live, and there is so much that is said that they leave off of TV.

Jenn - I did not watch The One, I forgot it was starting this week....oh but I do love secrets!!! Please share. :music:

Also, as far as working out, I have good news, in a day or so I will no longer be posting that I was not able to work out because of my allegedly broken/fractured foot and all I could do is stupid arm exercises.

Turns out I have arthritis (WTF?) in my big toe! The Dr. said it is common in young (smile) people. Whatever, it hurts like a motha but I should be better in 2 days. He also has freed me to to the eliptical in the meantime. yea!!:clap2::whoo: :clap2:

I did a boxing circuit this morning - it was AWESOME!!! I absolutely loved it, it was great fun. It feels so good to be able to do something like that as a spur of the moment decision and not only keep up but be able to put 150% into it.

Apparently I'd make a good boxer as on the kicking part, I sent to poor girl holding the bag for me flying across the room! Ugh. She actually hurt herself a bit. I'm pretty tall, so I have a lot of power.

I think I sprained my wrist a bit though and I KNOW I'm going to be sore tomorrow.

I want to make this part of my regular routine, it must burn a ton of calories as its really intense.

I also did a very easy 3km on the treadmill, slow and flat.

I am getting banded on August 1st. Usually how long do most doctors make you wait until you can exercise? I was just wondering....

I was walking the next day, I kept that up for maybe 3 weeks and then I went back to the gym - elliptical and light weight work, I think I held off until 6 weeks to do any ab work. I struggled a bit with the time commitment of getting to the gym and went out to try jogging/walking about 3 months after surgery and have been running regularly ever since.

I'm getting back into some heavier toning/weights work now almost 8 months down the track - I've built up enough cardiovascular fitness that a good long run doesnt tire me out for the rest of the day like it used to so now's the time to add the strength component to my workouts.

Just take your time, build up as you feel ready and take it easy for the first couple of weeks.

K-CEE, congrats on your upcoming surgery date. To answer your question, my surgeon ok'd walking from the get-go but said to hold off on anything else for the first 8 weeks. He also said that I should not lift more than 20 pounds for the first 4 weeks. Following that, the sky was the limit.

I'm going to have a day off today, I am so stiff I can hardly move, lol. Even the muscles on the back of my hands are stiff, and even weirder, the back of my head is stiff.

Gotta add boxing as a regular workout!

      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.
