When can i start really working out.



Recommended Posts

I'm fortunate to have a treadmill and a total gym at home. Before I got sick, I lived on these things. I'd wake up, pee, throw on a sports bra and some shorts and work out on my total gym for an hour every morning. It was great - I didn't even really have to be awake yet hahah - by the time i was done, I was wide awake, in the shower and then on to Breakfast. Every night, I came home, had dinner, watched some tv and then ran 5 miles indoors on the treadmill if running outside was not possible -(which where i lived before was about 8 months out of the year). Shower and sleep! I can't wait to get back to that. I know I'll have to ease into it, which stinks because I didn't ease out of it :( Anyway, this is the model total gym I have http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3996120

They make them much more expensive and even less expensive - I think about 200 bucks at JC Penney.

      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?

      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.
