So has anyone done the t25 workout ? My surgeon has suggested to do this to get my last 15 lbs off. He said I need a really intense workout. Running and elptical are really just warm ups at this point. Any thoughts

T25 is a great program as are the other beach body programs (p90x, p90x2, p90x3 and insanity). Definitely dive into t25 if you have the dedication for it (think it is 5 days a week). The good part is it is only 25 min a day. Do make sure you have good knees as there will be a lot of jumping. You might also consider cross fit, "you are your own gym" DVD. Anything that is really intense will work to get those last pounds off. You will probably find yourself eating more calories, more Protein and more carbs. No worries; it will be needed to get through the intensity. Good luck!

I've been contemplating this for a month now for the same reason you stated. I love the fact that it's only 25min. so I think I'm going to give it a whirl. Good luck!

Sweet: how far out, post op are you? I was looking into those. I had found a site that reviewed several DVD's, including T25. I left a comment leaving my personal circumstance (then, 5 weeks post op), and he recommended just continuing to walk, maybe a few push ups here and there, then in the Fall, Power90 is supposed to come out.

I think the guy knows more about me that I do, because I tried exert myself a couple of times this week and just don't have the energy...

      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.
