Here's one place that has them, they are very expensive but if you do a search on the web, maybe you'll find them cheaper. How about the classifieds in your local paper, some one might be selling one used and alot cheaper.

Isn't that aggravating? I mean the folks that need and want to exercise can't get the equipment they want at a reasonable price. I know when I looked at certain equipment I wanted the weight limit was rediculously low. I ended up with a NordicTrack stationary bike and going to curves for the resistance training. Good luck with your search and congrats on making the exercise a priority.

You know whats a pretty decent start out DVD, Walk Away The Pounds, its about $25 - $30 and it simulates walking without leaving your home. I know lots of people who really like it. I'm pretty sure Walmart sells them. There's 1, 2 or 3 miles.

This maybe a place to start until you can find your treadmill.

See....this is why we need an exercise board.

You know we just got a weight bench and heavy bag at sports authority. While I was in there they had some pretty good sales going on. You might want to check them out! And I know they have stuff for bigger sizes. Do not go to sears... their stuff is not only way overpriced, but total crap! LOL

      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.
