For once I can say that I am happy to be an over 50 person with Fibromyalgia. My Fibro doc has been after me to get into physical therapy. My insurance required me to see a personal trainer prior to my surgery. The personal trainer gave me a list of exercises that smack of physical therapy so I gave in and started PT about a month after surgery.

I've been gradually increasing my activity level and can see improved strength and stamina, and, others say I am winning the battle of the flab.

I will work to upload the handouts that the personal trainer and physical therapist pass onto me.

Hope they will be of assistance to others here.

I've been posting handouts that my personal trainer gave me when I was preop. I started an album that you can see by clicking here. If you cannot view and/or download the items just let me know and I can send you the PDFs.

As the weather gets colder, my Fibro is getting worse and I'm finding it harder to exercise.

Wish me luck, I'm venturing out into the cold to meet my new personal trainer at Planet Fitness. Don't need luck with the personal trainer, I need it with going out into the cold with Fibromyalgia. ????

      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?

      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.
