It only takes one person, no matter who, to get another one motivated. So, if you do your exercise, regardless of what it is, post it and it will motivate someone else to move it too! :D:D:D

MOVE IT AND LOSE IT :banana :banana :banana

Leatha I am going through the same thing as far as my pulse being too high the last two nights. Tonight, it was in the 80% the first time I checked and the next time it was over the Way over the 90!!!! They made me stop. I really didn't feel like I was that over exerting. I was still talking-I thought that was supposed to be a sign that you are ok. I do not have High BP or anything as serious as a pulmonary embolism(whatever in the hell that is!?) ;-) but I am frustrated. My Curves lady said that it is probably high because I have been under a ton of stress with Steven being out of work. Could that be it? Anywho-she said I needed to go to the dr.

On the LIGHTER side of things----I HAVE LOST 5 ---- COUNT THEM ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE POUNDS!!!!!! I had to get off and on the scale three times before I could believe it!!! ;-)

I did 30 minutes on the motel treadmill, then stopped at the outlet mall and bought a new exercise outfit. :D Size Large (Down from XXL) :D Now I will look hot (not sweaty) when I exercise!

It sounds like everyone is doing great! Way to go, Ladies!

I'm back!!!! And I finally met my own challenge!

I have been to the gym every morning for the past 3 days. I have been doing 35 minutes or about 3 miles on the elliptical trainer. Then on Wednesday I did a full lower body weight work out - I am still sore from that one. Yesterday I did a full uper body weight work out (chest/back/shoulders) Today, since I was sore, no weights, but I added another 20 minutes on the stationary bike for 8 miles.

I have to go out of town tomorrow for a conference, and I won't be back home until Wednesday night. I could tell you that I'm going to use the hotel training facilities - but it would be a lie.

I am going to use the spa though - to get a facial and a massage!!

Good going, girlies! Where are the men today? I met my exercise challenge for the whole week, yippee! And today's my 6 month weigh-in, so I'm actually skipping around the office with joy!

Betty, I wouldn't get another port, but we all know how fickle our little bands are. I hear people suddenly lose restriction. I lose restriction, but it seems to come back just in time. I'm on constant alert. If my restriction goes away, people on the 5 Freeway better pull over, cuz I'll be speeding to Tijuana or a new port!

Gosh, I have been walking on the treadmill, I guess I just forgot to post them. :laugh I try to walk everyday, I think I have only missed a couple of days since I have been banded.

      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.
