Has anyone tried insanity after surgery? I was thinking it would be good to use tone up the body and help with sagging skin (I know it won't get rid of it, but help it).

I tried Insanity for a few days after I was released to go back to normal activities and I found it was a little in extreme for me to start off with. I found Jillian Michael's Body Revolution and I love her program. It starts off to me easy ( hard when I first started it) and gets harder every 2 weeks for 3 months. I've done the whole program and have started over again. I love it.

Good gravy no. Borrow the fit test from insanity or try to find it online before you waste your money. I tried it before surgery and almost died. My husband, a normal sized fit guy, couldn't do it either. P90x is way more achievable and a few of the other beach body workouts.

Right now I am doing Rocking body from Shaun T getting my body use to exercise. (Plus its fun and not so extreme)

I am now waiting for the insanity to be delivered. I have a few friends who have done insanity and say its tough but worth it. And a few friends who have put the cd down not to return to it again lol...

      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.
