Recommended Posts

Im almost a month post op..(will be 1month august 18th) and I've come to a stall already. I got the clearance to start working out, but have no idea what to besides walk and that is really boring. I cant afford a gym at the moment or a trainer..what home exercises do any of you guys do? That can help jump start my weightloss again...

Well then you need to start slowly. Walking maybe boring, but it is where you should start. Start out walking a short distance and increase by a little each day. I would wait on using the ten pound weight. The worst thing you can do is too much too soon. You will wake up sore and not want to continue to exercise.

Thats true, I just feel like I need to be doing SOMETHING...guess ill just continue my walking..I was walking 30 min around my neighborhood before surgery...Ive just been walking 10 mins around the block since surgery, but it hasnt been daily.

Yes! I heard about those community zumba classes..i think it was like 5 dollars or something. I never went pre op because i didnt want to embarrass myself, but after losing 41 lbs total, it gave me a little confidence boost lol so i might just have to try that!

You can go on youtube and look up Shaun Ts beach body, or rocking body and do that as a workout...its basic dancing you can do it in the comfort of your home and most important its fun...then if you search on youtube other exercises they have that too....

I refuse to pay for the gym, so I do my things at home and walk, and just staying active....Hope this helps good luck :)

      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.
