Exercise! Airline Tickets!



Recommended Posts

I decided to exercise today, my doctor had said to wait a month but I figure I am close enough. I did around 20 mins and I was so wiped. I didn't even do the hard part of my routine because it involves leg kicks and knee lifts. When I stopped my whole head felt so heavy! For a few minutes I got scared, and then I remembered that my head always feels like that after my routine. Anyways after next Tuesday I am going to ask the doctor if I can go swimming, I have to build some, maybe alot of, resistance there, but I know swimming will help with loose skin.

I finally bought a ticket to return home! I am so happy, February 21st cannot come fast enough. Its hard to contain my excitement, but I do, especially because no one here wants me to leave. I love them all too, but its time for me to go.

Congrats! Feb 21 is a great day! It's my birthday...hehehe. My doctor told us that we could walk after surgery but couldn't lift anything over 10lbs or do any vigorous exercise for 2 months. Then I was released to do vigorous exercises. Congrats on your trip, it is exciting to go home and visit family and friends, but we do miss the people we leave behind. Enjoy your new journey, you deserve it! Be happy and show off the new you. CONGRATS! ;)

      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.
