I love kickboxing!! it really does tone your body and give you a sense of power! After each class, I felt like I could conquer the world. However, I over did it and developed planter fiscitis in my foot. Be sure to wear good shoes, take plenty of Water, a towel for the ton of sweat and have fun!

I was thinking of doing something like this to get my last 25 lbs off. I will keep an eye on your progress or maybe jump on this trek with you. How did you decide where to go ?

Years ago, I had the Billy Blanks kickboxing video. I really enjoyed it and used it frquently, but due to increasing arthritis (I was in my early 50's - I am 62 now) my doctor said to knock it off. Now that I am on this Sleeve journey, I work with a chair boxing video more appropriate to my physical challenges. I agree that boxing even without the kicking can give you quite a hearty workout. And yes, it is fun.

I currently do kickboxing now and my surgery is probably going to be scheduled for the end of June. How long do you think I'll be away from that high intensity workouts?

I had to put my martial arts training and kickboxing on hold for three months. Falls are bad. Forceful kicking/punching/twisting = bad.

Low intensity if fine after a few weeks, but kickboxing doesn't generally fall into that category unless you aren't doing it right. :D

Thanks! That helps. I'll have to double up before the surgery to get in my fill before hand :)

I teach that type of kickboxing. :D It's great fun, a huge stress reliever and wonderful for your body! ENJOY!!!

Only one class and I loved it. Get to have gloves and get to do it in bare feet and look snazzy in my karate outfit. Hahha

I just heard that the karate studios all do them and people love it

      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.
