I'm just about at 6 months post op, I'm doing about 5-7 miles of walking a day, I do between 50 and 70 crunches and 50 half push-ups a day right now. I'm looking to increase this with a home workout in the mornings. I just did a 20 minute one on Amazon this AM but it requires so much more coordination than I have. lol! Kick, hop, punch, twist, fast fast fast! Well, it takes me like 4 pauses to figure out the routine then rewind and do the sets and then pause on the next one. lol! It was RIDICULOUS! And I don't want to waste my precious time rewinding, figuring out the routine, blah blah blah.

SO! I'm looking for some suggestions to try out. I'm totally willing to do Yoga or something much more invigorating. I can't figure out if I should do something to burn more calories or use this 30 minutes at 5:30 AM every day for muscle toning since I'm then burning calories the rest of the day? I don't know, some suggestions would be lovely!! :) Thanks again guys!

I signed up for Beachbody on demand all access and it is all of their programs for $99.95 a year. I love their workouts because of the variety since I get bored easily. They also sell individual programs for various prices as well. I also like Jillian Michaels... her programs are too hard for me right now at my size but when I was smaller I did them and loved the workout I got.

OH!! I saw ads for that and thought it would be way more expensive!! Only problem is wifi is sketchy in my room. I'd have to do it in the livingroom. But that aint no thing. I just don't know what will work best for me. I'll try a bunch, thanky ou!

The good thing with Beachbody is they have a 30 day money back guarantee so if you hate the workouts you can return them. I did turbo fire for a few months and lost a good amount of weight but gained it back when I stopped watching my calorie intake. It really is basic to advanced and many of the programs have modifiers. Jillian is definitely more intense her yoga has me almost in tears lol but I enjoyed how I felt after.

      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.
