lol omg you must have been so scared, thank god you're ok. I would have been pissed!! to think- We bust your ass excersising so we can actually live LONGER and then you almost die as a result of excersising-ironic...lol

Yeah since that day i didn't really bother with the lunges. but i read that last post i made and it felt like forever ago. since then i started doing the 3 mile workout and i got that down alot faster than it took me to get the 1st 2miles.

And i think i kinda hit a bit of a plateau so i started doing Tao-bo- I actually done it before but this one was called tae-bo "bootcamp". I thought it was just a name and i didn't think much of it. But apparently the name did mean something.

I'm telling you that was the hardest physical thing i have ever done IN MY LIFE!!!

The 1st time i tried it i did about 5-8mins of it- canceling it out to being impossible.

I tried it about 2more times and each time i was able to go further along in the video. Today was my 4th time doing it. And i got about 1/2 way throught the dvd.

And i'm still pretty stoked about being able to do something and getting better at something that i thought was impossible to do a week ago.

Not to sound cheesy but... Challenging my body is Awesome!

I cannot believe how similar everyones experiences actually are. It amazes me everyday when I read posts that I think I must have written when I was asleep and don't remember. I find this site and its group of regulars are one of my best resources for keeping going. I love my hospital (Cleveland Clinic) and they gave me so much documentation and booklets along the way, but nothing compares to actually speaking with (okay, typing with) people who are going through the same thing and same issues. I will definitely be attending the group meetings they have every month for us, and will tell them all about this wonderful site.

Thanks to everyone for sharing!!!

O M G !!!!!

i feel so proud of myself i had to announce it to this whole thread. About 2 hours ago, Jan2, 2010; I Mamie/mnb started my daily tae-bo "bootcamp" dvd and.... actually FINISHED THE WHOLE THING!!!! YEAH!

It took about a week(and a few days here/there) of failing miserably- to finish.

But today i can say tae-bo bootcamp isn't just for billyblanks, his fem-bot step daughter, and the other humanoids behind them.

But me, A simple human girl can do it too!

I paused the dvd about a million times for Water and i took a million breaks. But everytime i caught my breath and drank my Water i pressed play and continued. And g*d damnit it felt good to finially recipricate the ass kicking that dvd has been giveing me for this past week.

Moments like this remindes me why i stick to working out.

      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.
