Congrats! With the light headedness, I assume you've had your blood pressure checked... I get light headed when I stand too quickly, seems that having a lower blood pressure (still normal) and a much lower resting heart rate (got mind down to around 60 bpm from 100+) means that standing up too quickly can result in a temporary bout of lightheadedness.

you don't mention your macro's so i will ask are you getting in 60-70 grams of Protein everyday?

and the gym is for a lot of things - your health and general we being - lots of the issues from being overweight are helped by going to the gym but its just the movement - getting your body moving for a hour or more a day that does most all the magic.

All the latest studies say the same thing - working out makes you healthy but does not result in more than modest weight weight loss.

So keep up the workouts cause they help heal all the damage we did to ourselves with the weight and stick to your surgeons program for the weight loss. They go hand in hand.

grats on your progress you should be proud of where you are and how far you have come.

AMAZING

Muscle weakness, always tired?

Visit your physician ask for blood tests to see where your Vitamin and mineral levels are, it could be anemia or b Vitamin deficiency. These are serious.

      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.
