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.

I have a pilaties video that I like, it came with a book too. I think I spent less than $10 on it

pilaties is great for all levels, no implact.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
