Now that I am feeling more energetic I want to start exercising. I was hoping someone could suggest a relatively easy work out video. I have tai-bo but I really don't like it (too hard!). There are so many out there I would rather pick one that someone has used and likes.

I like the one that came with my Danskin weights that I bought at Walmart. It's a cute barbell that only comes with around 17 pounds worth of weights, but it's coated in colored rubber to protect our nails (how cute is that?) It comes with a work out video. Very easy, plus you tone up at the same time, and the weights aren't too heavy. I bought a couple extra 2 lbs weights to kick it up a notch.

Add my vote to Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds videos. I LOVE them! There's a wide variety, so you can start easy and work your way up to more advanced routines. I also liked the Susan Powter workout videos--I dunno if you can still find them, though! A good place to shop around for workout tapes is collagevideo.com--they have workout music cds and accessories too.

Good luck finding something that works for you!

I found Walk Away the Pounds at Goodwill. $1.50 each? Bargain! I don't have those cute little ball weights they have, but I do have a small set of hand weights, 3,5, and 8 pounders that work just great.

Okay, maybe I'll walk away some pounds tomorrow. Thanks alot for reminding me! (groan!)

Tae Bo is hard, but I made it a bit easier by NOT kicking anywhere close to as high as those crazy CA girls do on the video. I kept it very low and did what I could. I didn't hate it as much that way, and it IS a good sweaty workout!

Fine, I'll get my tapes out. Thanks alot. (groan!)

After doing them forever (years) I gave away the tapes and do the exercises with music that I select. I also gave away the belt and other stuff included but kept the little weighted balls. I love keeping them in my office and playing with them when I'm on the phone, stressed, etc. They are also good for building hand muscles since they are soft.

pilaties is great for all levels, no implact.

      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.
