My doctor told me that is old age creeping in:D

Didn't you just have a birthday?:):D :eek:

Just couldn't help myself, but that really is what the doc told me.

Yes, I just had a birthday where I turned a measly little 42. I'm not 92. Gosh, if this is how I feel at 42, I'm not sure I'll even see 52!

I couldn't help myself! Roflmao:D :):D

Let me tell you, you will feel that way long before you hit 92! The older I get the more pains I discover I have.

You probably have a bug or something, the flu is starting up around here.

No, I don't have a bug. I feel like that every day. I watched my friend wake up one morning, and she's the same way, but she has Lupus. I wonder if it's my autoimmune disease. I think my Vet needs to put me down.

Well, considering the alternative (death), I'll take my arthritis, try to exercise (that really helps) as much and when I can, and be thankful that I have arms and legs to use.

Hey Marie When did you have your surgery? About exercise I have a appointment with Lady USA Fittness tonight. Maybe I will join. I am curious what exercises you can do that will be safe on your port?

Janie, really just biking and walking. That's been great for cardio., thighs, and calves. I need to start doing some abs. My surgery was 5/26/04.:)

I'm going to walk in the morning. I have no clue what's going on with the pain in my feet & legs, but if Marie says walking helps with arthritis, then that's what I'll do. Actually, I'm usually really good about getting in a real good walk several times a week, but I lost so much sleep last week that my bod is really mad at me.

I was able to get in 30 min on the recumbent bike. Even though it bothered my port area each time I did a turn on the bike. OH WELL!! Got that exercise in though. LOL!!

I'm not sure what to do with you people. When I started this thread, I mostly just wanted to be accountable to someone else with my exercise, and to be able to share my successes and disappointments and to have someone to kick me in the a** when I was being lazy.

My intent was not to have anyone working out, irritating their belly when their ports are hot and red, or feeling obligated to walk on already aching feet and legs. My Goodness - moderation in everything! Isn't that what we're supposed to be learning with our bands?

I don't want to hear about anyone else exercising while injured, hurt, ill or otherwise disabled! Don't make me get my stick!

:cool:

OH dear... looks like there is going to be more bonking of heads!

Did my 2.5 mile walk lastnight... going to go play with the the weights in a little bit. Tis cloudy and chilly today... if it rains the walk is out... but at least I'll be pumped up thanks to Weider. I used to work for Betty Weider's brother Will... lemme tell ya... they airbrush the hell out of her pics in the Muscle and Fitness magazine. Her body may look great... but in the end age gets us all even if we are married to a fitness guru! Getting older sucks... period.

On that positive note... I think I'll go put my teeth in and Ben Gay myself from head to toe and workout. :cool:

      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.
