I took my first Zumba class yesterday. It was fun! I had to sit down during one of the songs and catch my breath - but other than that - I stayed moving for the whole class.

My body was asking "what the heck did we do?" the rest of the day. Can't wait to go back to class again.

And, as an added benefit, I think it shook some stuff loose inside me - the dam broke today and I am no longer constipated.:P

LOL. There is nothing like the cure for Constipation than vigorous exercise. Haven't tried Zumba and don't even know quite what it is so I will have to check it out. I'm not typically one to do group exercise because I get in a "zone" and lose myself anyway. Keep shaking stuff loose. :lol:

I've always wanted to try zumba but I've always felt "too fat" to move like that. I see all the ladies lining up at my gym to go into class and I'm jealous LOL. Maybe now that I'm starting to drop some weight I'll get the courage!!!!! Sounds like as much fun as I thought it would be. Glad you had a good time!!!

      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.
