upper arm help



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone - can anybody tell me what exercises to do for my flabby upper arms? I do have 5 lb. weights that I kind of use but I really don't know what the heck I'm doing. I was just banded on August 1, 2007 so I am new to this - any help would be greatly appreciated!

at walmarts they have this display of $1 DVDs. there are a couple workout videos. one is for upper body. she does exercises with weights which would be good for our upper arms.

everyone lives near a Walmart and you cant beat 1 dollar!!

my trainer has me doing 1 min of bicep curls, 1 min of tricep extensions, 1 min of another bicep exercise, 1 min of another tricep exercise, 1 min of shoulder presses, 1 min of back extensions? (don't know the name, I know that won't help you), then 10 pushups (real pushups, not girl pushups). Then do the same thing 2 more times with no rests in between.

      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.
