That's so awesome! I'm going to the beach in August and my mini goal for then is to lose 75-100 pounds. I'm getting excited and nervous. What are you doing exercise wise? And how long were you off work or anything?

I do Zumba 2 to 3 times a week. That's about it for now. I'm a teacher and I pull kids from across the school. So I'm walking all day long! I did mine around Christmas break so. Didn't have to take time off. I went to the gym at 3 weeks. I haven't had any complications or pain at all. If it weren't for the weight loss if be worried if I even had it done. I feel bad for people that have complications but I think that's another good thing about getting it done young! Best decision I've ever made in my entire life.

Oh ok that's cool! I've been trying to think what im gonna do. I have a bowflex in my basement so I was thinking of doing 30 minutes of that before work, then walking some during my lunch hour and then doing something for another 30 minutes or so after work. Idk what yet though.

I'm hoping I have a smooth recovery like yours. My information was sent to the insurance company today so...more waiting! Ughh haha

if you're worried about loose skin do not do any cardio exercise do strictly weight training

      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.
