I was wondering if anyone of my fellow July Bandsters are planning to exercise as they lose weight?

and when are you going to start?

I just got banded 8 days ago. And i really want to start being active. I should probably start light, like walking.

I want to join a gym too. i'm not sure if it's okay with having just had surgery. anyone have any ideas?

I was banded on the 17th and just now feel I can go back on the treadmill - but at a slower pace than I did and gradually build back. I will continue weights and squats. I exercise to feel fit, to bend down easily, to squat easily, go up and down stairs without huffinf and puffing. So yes I will continue forever!

i WAS BANDED ON May 30, and I didnt start exercising until I was back at work, and I started with walking. I than got back on my bike, and bought a new one...and havent looked back since.

I set a goal for July for 100 miles and I am almost 40 miles over that goal.

Just make sure you are getting good nutrition and lots of Water...

I lost 13 lbs the 2 month, and am really feeling good.

Best of luck

      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.
