Well, I Did It!



Recommended Posts

I have been mainly walking for all my exercise. I am 5 months post op. Yesterday I took my first Zumba class, and I did it!!! 6 months ago I never would have imagined to get through that class. I feel so great I just needed to share! I might go back for another class this morning!

Exercise is a key to getting stronger and to helping your body reshape itself, so every bit is great! Now, if only I could convince my body to like doing it as much as I like the results! LOL

Lissa, I agree. It's getting easier to make myself workout, but I still struggle with excuses some days. It's just part of the process of getting healthier and forming better habits than before. I wait for the day when I just automatically come home from work and get ready for the gym instead of thinking to myself "I better go today"....lol

I had that problem as well, now I go as soon as I get up on my days off and I pack my gym bag in the evenings and take it with me to work. Cause I know as soon as I get home there will be a million things to do. Just do it regularly enough and it will stick. Now I love the gym.

      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.
