For me exercise is excrutiating. I have arthritis everywhere. I'm not looking forward to HAVING to exercise, but the pool is less that a block away. It's the only exercise I can handle. I won't have an excuse unless I let my membership lapse. When I lose some of this weight, I hope I'm more comfortable. If so I have some plans. I saw an ad in the newspaper for ballroom dancing lessons. I can't think of a more wonderful way to lose weight!! What's that movie with Richard Gere? That's one of my goals. If I make it there, I will post a picture of me with a rose in my teeth!!!!

Aubrie,

The show is "Shall We Dance" and it is a wonderful romance and I wish we all could take ballroom dancing!! I think it is a wonderful idea to hit the pool..I wish I lived closer to one and could use it on a regular basis. I'd settle for a creek or river right now...too hot for me.

Same here. I have an 80 yr old dad with dementia, two dogs, two cats, three teenagers and one difficult DH. Who has time to exercise? That's probably why I have been stuck at this weight so long. I don't want to get a fill until after my vacation in August either. Come September I'm determined to get a fill and get moving down the scale.

You MAKE time to exercise. It's that simple. Children in 3rd world countries that work 16 - 18 hours out of every 24 don't have time to exercise. We do. You get up earlier, go to bed later, stop watching TV, don't clean the living room and have someone else do it or let it go once in a while, you use computer time, you stop watching TV, you go out to dinner or you have hubby clean the kitchen after a meal... you find the time. We have it, we just need to ALL stop making excuses not to exercise.

      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.
