Question: I am graduating with my masters in december and for graduation my parents are going to get me some exercise equipment since there isn't a gym with childcare around my house. I have an elliptical but I need something else that I can work out on. I was thinking a bike... Also any suggestions for weight lifting? I'm only a little over 4 weeks out so I can't do anything right now and I am not strong to start off with. I want to focus on my arms and abs.

Congratz on earning your masters!!!!! Way to go!!!

Exercise equipment...Hmmm...that's a good question. I guess it depends on what you think you would enjoy working out on. I really don't like working out at home...guess cuz I've been a stay at home mom for so long that I NEED to get out LOL! But...I LOVE riding my bike, so you may enjoy a stationary bike. I don't know how many children you have or how old, but if you only have one or two and their small, you COULD get a comfort bike (I have a raliegh and love it) and a kiddie trailer. Kids LOVE IT! Would they spring for a Bow Flex? That would REALLY work your arms and abs!! Just some thoughts.

Well, I changed my goal...I've been afraid to change if for fear of not reaching it, but afraid NOT to change it for fear of giving myself an "out" on exercise once I reach my goal. Funny how my mind works! But, I've changed it and will do my best to reach it!

      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.
