This is by far the best group I have ever joined. It is hard to discuss weight problems with people that do not have a weight problem. Thanks to all of you

I have had a knee surgery and my knee just hurts, mainly bc I carry 400lbs on it all day. I keep 10lb weights by my couch and just do whatever arm exercises while I watch tv. After a few weeks I have been able to tell a difference. It seems silly at first. But now even my best friend will do it with me.

Your welcome. I was never an exercise person but something inside me click!! And when I started my pre-op diet I started doing the DVD exercise. It was a 3 mile walk and the first time I made it to 1 mile (never told anyone) I felt I was gonna die & wanted to quit. The second day made it to 2 mile & 3rd day yesss! 3mile walk. I was proud of my self. I haven't done the DVD exercise but I now walk 30 mins a day. I work out at the gym for 30-45mins. Now I can't say I love it but I enjoy it & it makes me feel good.

Well I guess I will not tell anymore friends about my plans to have surgery because this was the comment I got. Well I know people that have this surgery and they always blow back up.

they have no idea how there negativity hurts us. although its true some people regain (there's) two of them in my office, but it is also 3 that have done great for over 4 years now. the difference is their eatting habits. the two live on fast food the 3 bring lunch and they walk on breaks. but like you, i will not tell anyone else before my surgery i really can't handle the negativity right now.

Ok, soooo I took mslady's advice and started yesterday doing three reps of ten with the dumb bar, its only 5 pounds, but its a start right ? And today I'm going to repeat it and I'm going to walk for 5 minutes. I know that sounds so lame, but I gotta start somewhere. I hope your all having a good day !!

      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.
