I bought a recumbent exercise bike off Amazon for less than $200, and I use that for my exercise.

Our temperatures here in Southern California have been running towards 90° and over and I don't walk well in those kind of temperatures. Plus, I have back issues that make walking for long distances very hard for me. Downright painful.

Just an idea.

I have a desk cycle. I used to live in a terrible neighborhood. I wasn't going to go outside by myself and risk getting mugged, run over or worse. The apartment was tiny - 600 sq ft. I would walk around when I could, but two adults with a lot of stuff and four cats means not much room for anything. I got the desk cycle so I could pedal while at the computer or while sitting on the couch. My team really liked this idea and said they would recommend it to patients with space issues. I would still get up and shuffle around the rooms the best I could several times a day. Thankfully I've moved to a much more rural part of the state where I can walk freely and my college campus pretty much forces me to walk 30 minutes a day between classes and my car.

Walking will actually give you energy help strengthen you quicker. Just go slow, stay hydrated and cool while you do. Walk laps in your house. For instance chair to kitchen 2-3 times before sitting one day tomorrow up it to 4 if its too quick do 3 then 4. As long as you do more today than yesterday every step is an improvement. If that's too easy. Go to the mall or a store window shop at pretty things a couple sizes 2 small. You'll be there before you know 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.
