I'm so glad to hear you like T-Tapp. I bought the DVD a while ago but haven't put it in yet. Guess I'll switch to that as soon as I get sick of the one I'm using now. It's starting to get a bit old.

Ezma,

Ooh, I wouldn't wait. I'd do it starting tomorrow! It's done wonderful things for my body.

It is a little complicated with all the different workouts, but I'll tell you how I started off and it worked out great. (I had help knowing what to do from a family member who is a certified T-tapp trainer.) She suggested doing a 14 day bootcamp to start. So do the workout every day for 14 days. (I take Sunday off, so I just did it until I had done 14 days total.) Start with the instructional tapes. Do #1 first for a couple days, then move to #2. You don't have to do them both on the same day, you can just do one or the other. When you're ready, move to the Total Workout. It will take about 50 minutes, while the others are 20 or 25 minutes. The instructionals are very effective, so don't switch from them until you are really understanding the form on each move and feeling strong. Once you're done with your 14 day bootcamp, take a couple of days off and then alternate every other day the Basic Workout Plus and the Total Workout. If you have any questions, feel free to email me, and I can as my relative for you if I don't know the answer.

I just love T-tapp. It doesn't kill me and I really feel stronger and taller after I'm done doing it. It's not your typical workout, there's no music and it's not perfect in it's production quality, but it is a wonderful system and very effective.

I do have to warn you that I think I had significant muscle gain from this workout and so you have to take that into consideration with your weight numbers. Do start with your measurements and compare those instead of the scale. I lost 1.5 inches off my hips in two weeks while not losing any pounds. That was a testimonial to me. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

      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.
