Chronicles of Cloe!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Question....Question.....

I have a Katrillion Club Z points, so I was looking threw the catalogue and saw on page 60 a 'elliptical machine', (you know, the one that Mandi looks sooo hot on). I was wondering if anyone has a catalogue out there, if it was a good machine or a cheap one. I didnt even know what one was til the other day, but I'm contimplating getting one. Thanks.

Cloe if you want my advice (and I guess it doesn't really matter if you want it or not cause you are going to get in anyway) is to try out the machine before you buy it. I got an eliptical because it was cheaper than gettting a treadmill and because it looked like a better workout but seriously the machine kills me. I am on it for like 5 min before my knees go all shakey and then I force myself to stay on it for another 5 to 10 depending on how much I can take. It's weird because when I bought the machine I was running so it's not like I was supper unfit or that my knees are bad and was just trying something for the first time. Some people are great at the eliptical and can just glide like a gazelle but on that machine I am just a dying sacraficial antelope waiting for the lion.

Anyway my advice is to try it first :lost1.5lbs:

Yep, the Dame is right. Check it out. My doc loves the machine and I don't like it at all. I prefer the treadmill; I guess it reminds me of life.:phanvan

Cloe....definitely go to a gym or something first to try out an elliptical before you purchase one.....(take a gym up in a free trial day or something). You either love it or hate it and it would be a shame if you were in the latter category!

Me....I love it!

At the gym, I pick the elliptical over the treadmill anytime. It took a while to get used to the eilliptical but everyday I could spend more and more time on it. I would like to own one but I keep thinking of the expensive treadmill we own that is never used. Actually that's not true, it makes a very good clothes line.

Yes, yes... careful with that. Try one first. (for several minutes!) You freaks who can last more than 5 minutes on it... AHHH!

      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.
