Try swimming up a slow moving river! while your trying to go forward the Water is pushing you back wards.You almost have to fight to go on.when you get tired move over to the slower moving Water.< /p>

It works your whole body and its free, I try to swim every day or walk in the pool or do a few laps. good luck.

I can imagine that'd be hard, lol. I often use swim fins if I swim.

Unfortunately swimming cant be an everyday occurence here, lol. When you're a woman and you pay good money for your hair colour and your spray tan and your french manicure, hmm, chlorinated pools are EVIL, lol.

I also discovered the other day that boxing is a mega workout - I am sore in muscles that have never hurt before - even up the back of my head!!

John, one of the latest exercise crazes in the US is the small pools that create the Water forces to push you back and you need to swim against the Water. You can build a much smaller pool and get your exercise. Unfortunately, for the price, I will have to work internationally for a long time.

Due to the creepy things in fresh water here, I won't try swimming upstream. There are pills that others take to get rid of the creeps but Im a chicken. But I am feeling exercise guilty so I'm gonna go take the neighbors dog for a walk. Celeste

      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.
