Plumlove, Welcome to the challenge. I am not doing the PIYO but you still can be apart of the challenge. Just measure the miles you walk while doing it. You got this and you are going to be successful at it. On your lazy days just shot an email and helpfully someone here can encourage you to get up and do it.

Good morning team!

I hope everyone is doing well and feeling empowered. Thanks for this challenge. Ive just started doing the Beach body PIYO program and I do like. However, my natural tendency is to be lazy at exercise and never complete or be consistent. This weekend was a sad/emotional weekend and I found myself taking bites of cake and chips etc. Thank God for the sleeve… I was able to stop and no downward spiral. Id like to commit to doing PIYO 5-6 times per week. Anyone else out here doing PIYO????

Target: PIYO 5-6 times per week
CW: 207
GW: 187

My first question/concern is when did everyone start going to the gym...my surgeon said do it as long as it doesn't hurt but that was only at two weeks soooooooo...hmmmm

I was cleared for non-impact cardio a week after my surgery. So I joined the gym and just did the treadmill/ellipitical/bike until I was cleared for everything six weeks out. Then I started lifting weights and swimming as well.

Good morning Challengers! In an effort to hold myself accountable during this challenge, I decided I am going to post this morning. So, I am not a partier but this weekend I partied to much. So much so, that I am too tired to even think about the gym tonight. I went to a bachoretta party on Friday and got home at 3am and then I turned around and went to my cousin's party and got home at 4am Sunday morning. My body is tired this morning. I know for this challenge and for the fact that I start with my training tomorrow - I need to be at the gym doing my cardio tonight.

I went to the gym after all. 30 minutes on the stair master and 15 on the precor.

Today was my 1st day with a trainer. Man O' man was it hard... I absolutely sucked. I've paid for two weeks already so I'm going to see. And this was the basics.

Good afternoon friends! After 9 days of nothing, I lost 2 lbs. Yay! I have my 3 month post op visit this month (more like 3 months and three weeks actually). My goal is to be in the 240s for this visit. I'm now at 250 even. My post op is on the 19th. 242 is a stretch for that visit, but if I hit it, that will have me down 70lbs since my surgery and 93 from my all time high!

      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.
