I went to my first Zumba class tonight...what a blast! I totally felt like I had two left feet but cant wait for the next class! Hopefully this will kick the weight loss into high gear!

I love Zumba. Did a 45 minute class tonight. I probably look like a total tool doing it, but it is so much fun!!! Once I started doing the Zumba it broke the stall I was in and I have continued to lose consistenly now. It really helps!!

I know, it was a hour long class and I am sure I looked bad too but so did 3/4 of the class! I guess as long as we are doing it right? I cant wait to start losing again and I hope this works for me too! Thanks for the reply.

I've been debating a gym membership and good classes are a must. Zumba can be very fun. I have the CDs and I particularly like the toning routine with the weights, but motivating to do them at home just isn't happening. Good for you to get out to class!

I am actually about to buy the wii game and the DVD set when I get home for my wife and I. Shes been after this for awhile now and I looked into it and I love the concept behind it. No local classes nearby for us so this is the next best step

How long after getting sleeve where you able to start doing zumba classes? I've been debating whether or not I want to join a class after getting sleeved, but curious about the healing time after surgery before letting your body move like that.

I am jealous. I suck at zumba! I tried a couple of times but I guess I am too uncoordinated. I went left when the others went right, forward when they went back etc. So embarrassing. I hit the wall, crashed into others and generally looked like an idiot! Too embarrassed to go back.

Sweeettttt so it sounds like you are hooked. Zumba is one of my fav ways to burn calories and tone up and i've learned how to salsa, flamingo and merengue like a latin girl. I didn't know how to spell those latin dances bofore, now I do them like a pro.

I have a total crush on Zumba! Before my sleeve I could only do Water classes- and then in November, six months out, I ventured to try Zumba. I loved it! I have to be careful as I have nerve damage in my back and knees. I don't jump, for example. I now do TWELVE classes a week!

I did a Zumba class for the first time last week too. And, I also felt like two left feet, but managed to hang in there. It sure does kick up the calorie burn for sure! I can't see how anyone would stay in a stall if they do Zumba classes. Unfortunately I can't go all the time due to home stuff, but I am going to go every chance I get.

Can you say...Transfer Addiction lol! I do 12 Zumba, a stepping class, two Water aerobics classes, and a Water pilates class a week. AND I walk three miles a day...

Part of it is being disabled with nerve pain in my back and knees and seeking ways to work out. I have also been looking for work for a while and a friend said "If you can't find work then work at something to feel productive" and I chose working out ...big time!

      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.
