When my grandson was 2 yrs old (2 yrs ago) my daughter had to run after him all the time. He was into everything as 2 year olds are.

She was so happy because she lost a lot of weight doing all this running around. she also had a 4 yr old and a 7 yr old. btw - these are the most beautiful and smartest grand-kids in the entire world :rolleyes:

all the work you do as a parent, running around et al, helped her lose alot of weight., was great for her figure. :lol:

you are doing great by walking around so much now. ask your dr. when you can do more excersize, weights etc. - all dr. say different things. Just be patient when he tells you to go, have fun ^_^

best wishes

I have a similar fear due to having a 5 year old. We have a gym where I live but no daycare. They even brought Zumba and Yoga to our complex but still no daycare. It's frustrating, I know. I'm planning to rent arm and leg workout videos from Netflix so I can do that stuff at home. With summer coming, I plan to get out walking with my daughter riding her bike or walking with me. Good Luck. Any suggestions are welcomed!

Put your child in a stroller and walk or put some music on and dance. What 2 year old doesn't like to act crazy and dance. That's all Zumba is. Plus it will tire him out and then you can both take naps. Lol my little ones love music and dancing around.

If you have cable, they usually have different workout programs available on demand. They will rotate but there's usually at least one cardio workout, fat burning, toning and yoga program available. Your kiddo(s) can do it with you! You'll get toned and they will learn healthy exercise habits.

Get yourself one of the large wheeled jogging strollers and make walking your daily exercise routine.

      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.
