@@LittleBill Check out the 50 meter fly here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loZAwxtiwv4. Most of the Chinese don't have arms and do it in less than 30 seconds. They broke the world record again and the 2nd place guy was only .03 slower than the old record.

No arms. You can work the whole body.

Im switching gyms today. I will be apart of the influx of new faces. On the bright side my good friend is the manager of the new gym so I will be treated well.

Okay, that was pretty impressive.

This is why I say people should try swimming. It can work various parts of the body without being hard on knees, shoulders, etc. If you look at these swimmers you see them looking pretty good. The fly develops the core and back and the legs. As you can tell the main guy didn't get shoulders like that from lifting weights. :)

I highly recommend hiring a trainer or signing up for some classes that keep you on a schedule of required attendance. Though it can be expensive, it helped me a lot in the beginning.

I like this. Most of the regulars are pretty friendly. I no longer try to help people using machines correctly. Some get offended and pissed off if you offer assistance.

I just joined the ymca in November. But man this week has been crazy. Even to the point of waiting for a parking spot.

For reasons beyond my control, I have not even been able to make it to the gym since I started this thread. I am almost afraid to go. I've got the ole stationary bike here at home to keep me somewhat honest though.

I went to the gym today around 3pm and it was incredibly crowded. Its a large gym and they have recently hired many new staff members from receptionists, to operations staff, to trainers. Lots of new members with new sneakers, copper socks, fancy Water bottles, new clothes, and wearable devices. I mostly used the free weights today so the new members (who were mostly using the cardio machines) did not slow me down.

For the next two months I will have to stay away from prime time (lunch and after work) gym visits. Everything should be back to normal in March.

      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.
