Leslie Sansone has some great workout videos all centered around walking. This one in the pic I've had for about two years. It's a total of five miles but broken into 1 mile segments so you can work your way up.

I used to be that way; now I need to have my workout in as much as I need to eat! You have to find something that you like...there are a lot of things out there to do...walking the mall like Worm2872 said is fine...but you need to remember many of you are new at this...this is the time that you need to set your good habits in motions...repitition becomes habit...I started walking' date=' then had my Ipod set up with music I love to listen to, I told myself that I would walk 3 of my favoirites and be done...the next thing you know your are doing three more to add to it and so the next thing is you have gone three miles and never realized it! Water areobics are great for newbies...low impact something to do at you own pace...I now run three miles every other day and cycle two days a week and bellydance for the fun workout!

The one thing I always do is drink!!! Dehydration for us is a real serious problem, I sip something every fifteen minutes...for those of you that are having a difficult time, I understand...I have been there...a trip to the hospital is a lot more expensive than a bottle of water...I carry a little soft cooler in my car packed with Water, Protein shakes and healthy Snacks...

In my first weeks post-op I used to set a timer for 15 minutes and take a fews sips when the timer went off...I also put the timer in a place I would have to get up to get it and turn it off...

You guys can do it!!! Believe in yourself, remember why you had this life changing surgery...to change your life...get out there and live life!!

My friend's mother had A few of her videos and she did lose weight. Not a lot though. It's just enough to keep you moving when you don't feel like going all out. The intensity gets higher as you work through the segments.

I like gadgets, I use a bluetooth heart rate monitor, my iPhone and the digifit app to keep me goin. It has graphs and calories and all kinda cool stuff. The best part its helps keep me motivated to do it...

Of you like gadgets, have you checked out the Nike+FuelBand? It tracks your daily activity and you can set goals. I'll think I'll make that my Christmas gift to myself. I've been good.

Here's the link:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
