I want to do Pilates so bad!! I haven't been able to find a class yet. There is a belly dancing class around me though. It doesn't start until May, think I'm gonna have to try it!!

Found it off my surgeons website. I am so sick of the support groups, phony personalities, if you get my drift. Also, supposed to be for those of us banded less than a year, and its alot of people with the band over that. Just not the "support" I was looking for.

So, on the site there is exercise classes recommended, and I really wanted the yoga, but the dates started before my vacation, so opted for the Pilates.

Thats sooo funny, there are a million yoga classes around me and no Pilates. I really wanted to try Pilates!!! I'm actually really flexible for a fat chick:biggrin2:.

I'm afraid to take a yoga class, I think I would be laughing the whole time! I'm not very good at relaxing like you are supposed to for that. I think I'm going to try the couch to 5K thing. It might mess up my minutes for the March challenge though... I don't know, I'm just gona shake my booty.:smile2:

I am very flexible for a fat chick too. Really flexible, but I liked the idea of the yoga relaxing me. These classes are for the larger sized women, that is why they appealed to me. Even though I do/did the cardio classes at the gym, and dressed well enough to not have anything hanging out, I didn't feel very comfortable.

What do we get if we finish or exceed? Lets write Oprah and ask for exercise equipment. Or better still, how about the winner gets Bob Greene for a month:) and one of her personal chefs, and that Nate Guy. All good eye candy! Diane

Hey Guys! I'm not on here as much anymore these days cause I don't have access to a computer during the day at my new job. I'm joining the March challenge!! During the week, by the time I get home at 10pm, I'm too tired to do the elliptical. But, I try my best to do an hour Fri - Sun. I'll start clocking my minutes on the walk home from school (it's about a mile) so surely I can reach 600 minutes by the end of the month. Good luck everyone!!

Ugh, I hope hope hope I can get my 600 minutes in this month. This week is a bad week for me because it's all wrapped around my moving and I won't have time to get to the gym- think I can count packing and moving day as exercise? LOL

      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.
