Are you new to exercise or were you working out before surgery? The easiest thing to do for exercise is walking. I know that you talked about a toning routine but you need to be doing cardio also. Do you belong to a gym? Once you start doing cardio eventually you can start adding weights to your workout. Start out slow. If you belong to a gym you can ask someone that works there where to start. If not, you can look online for different routines or even purchase a video.

Just remember, you can't spot reduce. Cardio and weights are the way to go.

Yes I've been working out for a long time! I just think I need to kick it up a notch to tone! I was thinking about kettle bells!!!

Kettle bells are an excellent way to tone your body! I highly recommend them as long as you are doing them with a trained instructor or have been trained how to use them the correct way! Also I would start out with a light weight since you are not very far out from surgery.

Just the other day I was on YouTube looking up kettle bell routines. There are some great ones on there and some awful ones.

Yes kettlebells YES! Start with Ryan, he can probably help you find someone legit in your area to help with training, if you are so inclined. http://rjkettlebell.com/ I can't sing his praises enough, and I am super picky when it comes to trainers. Like annoyingly so. :) Have fun!

      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.
