I am 4 weeks post op and am still really really weak. How did you start working out. Any ideas other than walking? I have resistant bands and ball 2lb weights and a hula hoop.

I was also still very weak at 4 weeks post op. What you are experiencing is quite common. Don't let it worry you, because now I have more energy than I know what to do with. ;) Just start slow, take your time building yourself up. You will get to a point where you're doing a lot more and soon. Walking and stationary bikes, even ellipticals should be fine for you right now.

Wow you are really fast on that stationary bike! My best 10M time is just under 32 Minutes. Good job!

True maturity comes with recognizing your weaknesses and flaws. True strength comes with admitting your weaknesses and flaws, and correcting them.

Growth won't happen until you look inside yourself, accept you're human and make changes. I don't lie to myself. I take my faults and negatives, throw it out to the Universe and like a boomerang it ALWAYS comes back to me making me stronger and more positive. <3 Good morning Vertical Sleeve Talk!! Whatever you do today, do the right thing.

For without honesty there cannot be healing. Without healing there will never be growth. And without growth we will always be doomed to keep making those same mistakes.

Yes you can drink Slim Fast shakes... though I would encourage perhaps another option. They are very high in sugar. Have you tried the Atkins RTD? I find them very tasty :)

To LOSE the weight, you will have to GAIN: Strength, Motivation, Determination, A willing mind, An unyielding heart, An unfailing spirit, and constant thankfulness for all the goodness in your life. You must FEED yourself daily with healthy nourishment, Water, positive words, love, physical activity and encouragement & being lead in the right direction from your supporters, whoever they are.

      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.
