I started out on the treadmill, then my hubby joined us up to a gym. I have found that I love the elliptical! It really gets my heart rate up and I like to jam to Pandora's 80's cardio channel to get moving. Losing weight keeps me motivated. Plus the awesome powerful feeling of finishing a great workout.

Hi Lapper32014

I thought I'd paste the link to a "banders exercise" thread that was started some time back. You might also choose to join us on that thread? :) http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/294850-banders-exercise/?hl=%20banders%20%20exercise

I bike and run. Started out walking on my treadmill years back....SLOWLY increasing over time. For me, it was finding something I enjoyed (cycling) and sticking to it. Days become weeks, weeks become months.....etc.

I do not exercise without my tunes. Pandora is a great option, and I have recently found a website called steadymixes.com It has some great workout mixes on it .....all are free!

Congrats on your treadmill workout! :)

I also listen to Pandora's 80's cardio as I work out on the elliptical !

I have been going to the gym since long before surgery. So now I've just started to expand my horizons by attending a number of classes offered there, including Spinning, Zumba, step aerobics and Body Pump. All targeting different exercise needs, cardio, endurance, weight training and toning. Plus they never get boring.

      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.
