From what I've read about Biggest Loser they work out hours every day. It does not sound like a healthy thing to me.

I'm sorry to hear about your plantar fascitis. I have foot pain too (Although I imagine yours is probably worse) and it can make standing unbearable at times. Everyone's ideas so far sound really good. I know I always enjoy swimming and can always do it no matter how my feet are feeling.

I've been to the biggest loser ranch, twice. They have changed their program a lot since they first started. Yes you do work out....a lot !!!! Lol but they have also incorporated many other programs that help with the mental aspect of weight loss. They truly have some fantastic caring and motivating people there. I even made some lifelong friends while at the ranch. Although I have now chosen the option of getting sleeved to help in my weight loss journey I never received one ounce of negativity from any of them. I really though I was going to get a lot of " you are just taking the easy way out" & " you should be able to do this on your own" etc. but they are all supportive and just want whats best for me. Biggest Loser does push you hard but only because they know that we are all capable if so much more, they just showed me the way and now it's my job to run with it!

Its a great experience! No it isnt hard to get in, you just have to pay, lol. Its a full week of working out and eating healthy, but its all about getting you out of your comfort zone and showing you what you are capable of. So often we limit ourselves because of our own fears. Let me tell you, I did things there that I never thought I could do. Like run at 7.0 on the treadmill. When I started I was only running at a 4.5 maybe 5 max. You go on amazing hikes in some of the most beautiful country anywhere. And the instructors there are some of the most caring people Ive ever met. If you want to google it you can find out what their prices are right now, they do have specials from time to time. Its not cheap but its so worth it. Even after I get sleeved and lose the wieght I want i will still go back. I love it there.

      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.
