Need help finally went back to the gym

I need to know what's the best cardio to loose weight ? I am going back to my band basics and I need some good ideas for excersise and for meals and Snacks.

FOR ME, cycling was the best cardio....especially starting. Low impact, and I enjoyed it....so I kept with it. But each person may find something different that they enjoy or will at least stick to. Whatever you choose, make it a routine...make it a priority...no excuses! Just do it!

Here's an interesting article about different aerobic exercises: http://drsimpson.net/fitness/aerobic_exercise_comparison/aerobic_exercise_comparison.htm

I prefer the elliptical. Easier on my joints.

I did buy a bike recently and I'm starting to get into that but I'm not sure on calorie comparison. Still easy on the joints.

I started with the elliptical and am still using it on the weight loss setting but have increased resistance and duration

All great ideas. Just keep it comfortable. Don't do anything you can't do for as long as you need to or start doing 3 or 4 different cardio machines each time to keep it fresh and moving.

      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.
