Judy, I LOVE Zumba! It's a blast! It makes my knee hurt though, so I have to be careful.

Once you get used to working out, you will miss it when something comes up and you aren't able to go. I've been working out for 5 years now, and I am really grumpy when anything interferes with my gym time. That is what made me seek out WLS surgery 3 years ago. I was working out like crazy and not losing. I am really glad I already had the habit. I freaked out when I was told I couldn't exercise right after surgery.

how do you do it? do you feel really tired at the end of the day? or is it more the feeling of satisfaction that keeps you going. your story is inspiring. i will follow your example. thanxs

OH yes I am tired at the end of my work day, BUT...after 4:00 pm is the ONLY time I have for exercise, so I have to take that time and do it. Believe it or not I feel MUCH better after a work out...the tiredness goes away. My body aches go away, and I sleep well when I get home. I cook food on my days off, and have it ready for the days I'm working out. I usually don't get home until 7:30 to 8:00 pm. I leave at 7:30 am. I work out 4 days a week. And I walk 1.5 miles when I'm home. You just get used to doing it. JUST DO IT....And thank you for your compliments...very appreciated!!!

Wow That is an awsome schedual. Good for you! I am trying to go 3 days a week. I am loving my gym time. I let too many pressures at home distract me from that time. Sounds like excuses huh? I will work on more ME time.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Zumba is my absolute favorite! I still don't have any classes near me, so I do it at home. Congrats on getting your fitness on!!

I agree. Zumba is such a blast.

It hurts my knee so I have to modify some of the moves.Sometimes I feel like a clutz because I am so uncoordinated. I can get my legs going right, but when I throw the arm movements in, I mess it all up. I love it anyway, and I do the best I can!

Judy, that's awesome that you go so late. You are really motivated.I have to go first thing in the morning when I get up, or I just won't go. I have gone to Zumba after work though, just because I love it so much. I have to go when they offer the classes.

      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.
