I started Zumba 8 weeks out and was completely fine. Just listen to your body and it will tell you your limits!

You're welcome! I didn't start until after surgery but I am loving it too. I also do aqua Zumba which is different from the normal classes but lots of fun.

I'm a really nervous about running out of energy or wanting to take big gulps of Water. Big gulps cause me horrible pain in my chest. I guess I just have to be careful.

Understandable. I keep my Water close to

me and take a drink in between every song. I usually take a decent sized drink, and then swallow is slowly once it is in my mouth!

The best part of Zumba is that there will be every kind of fitness level in the class. Some beginners, some experts. Some who will do high impact, and some who will do very low. Just find your personal pace and have fun. The first few times I went, sometimes I had to just focus on legs and not worry about the arms actions. I didn't jump or do any kind of high impact. But there were others just like me!

      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.
