I left it about five weeks before I supplemented 25-45 minutes per day's walking with some swimming.

Since Saturday Nov 18th, I have tried to have at least TWO hours swimming (breaststroke) PLUS 25 minutes chest-deep wading at my local pool.

It's forty years since I last used boxing as a component of my fitness plan.

Here's my exercise log for the last six weeks. Columns are labelled. (Second column is what shows on my fitness wrist-band for steps and strokes total.)

December 1 was when I was flying interstate and stuck in a rental car.

December 25 was the POOL SHUT DOWN for Christmas Day.

My speed varies a lot some days ... I amble and trickle along just absorbing time moving slowly some days.

Congratulations!! I hope all is going well. I have been super bad at exercising and my goal is to start getting into a routine. I am 6 months post-op and I don't think I've exercised more than 8 hours total since surgery. I know, I'm terrible. I've lost 99.8lbs in the last year, 85 of those pounds since surgery. I definitely need to tone but I don't have a ton of super saggy skin which is great also. I'm about 20lbs from goal weight but my main focus now is toning for sure. I would say make sure to wait for approval from your doctor before exercising but try to get into a routine. No need to be a slacker like me!!

      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.
