jtorres04 Are you doing exercises?, If you do not exercise, you have to start a routine now, exercise is an important part in losing weight, try to see that your weight will start to fall, Good Luck:thumbup:

I'll sing the praises of exercise too.

I was lucky, I lost fast and well from the word go with my band, but bear in mind a LOT of people need to find good restriction before they really lose. My DH was banded back in June and is really only now starting to lose weight regularly with his band. What's changed? Good restriction with a fill that I had to push him to go and have, which has finally meant that although he eats very healthily he is eating little enough to lose and he has finally realised that he has to exercise or he is not going to lose.

Hello !

Thanks for your replies! I really need it! I have not started any exercise routine! I need to accept..I hate exercise! I's going to have a 2nd adjustment in one week...But I will follow your recommendations! Okay ... I thought it was going to be easier to loose weight ..but I see there is no easy way out! :tongue_smilie:

HOW MUCH EXERCISE DO YOU DO??

You have to start with what you can do, depending on how strong and fit you are, but what I eventually built up to over about a year is running five times a week.

In an average week, I might go for two longer runs (10kms each) do a shorter interval run (one with bursts of sprinting or some hill training), 2 hour long circuit sessions (weights with treadmill) and maybe a couple of walks with my husband (that tend to be 6kms or so).

I'm pretty active. You dont necessarily need to do that much but it got me well past my goal and keeps me there.

I bought an exercise bike just before my surgery. I have been riding it every day. I have bad knees, so it has taken me 2 months to get up to 12 minutes. Then I do another 10 minutes with dumb bells. I also do this every day. It has helped a lot with loosing the weight. Good luck to you, Barb

      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.
