buying multiple exercise dvd's and not doing a single one of them. Boy, do I need energy and motivation!
start slow.. the energy will come. Start at 5-10 minutes what ever you can do and then increase a bit every day. You will find you respond quickly. When I started at the gym I could not do 3 minutes on the elliptical. Now I have fantastic endurance. Find something you like to do. I started yoga and while I can not say I am good at it, I do love it. Slowly my flexibility is improving. When I had my surgery I could not walk to my mail box without thinking I was going to die! Getting out of the sofa was a strain on my knees. Now I am at the gym 5-6 days a week and loving it. If you had told me that back in August I would have laughed myself silly!! Good luck, honestly if I can do it any one can!!

thanks DIane! I walked for 19 minutes on the treadmill this evening and did 4 squats with the perfect pull-up bar.

I am proud of you!!!!!! Now remember tomorrow just tell your self you are going to move your body again! By the way I can not do a pull up or push up to save my life! I gave up on the pull up and keep trying to do the push up but my upper body strength still stinks! I will keep plugging if you do too!!!:drool:

Maybe exercise DVDs aren't the right exercise for you. I find them pretty boring myself....

I walk or ride a stationary bike. I read a good book at the same time. It makes the time fly by, but I also only do "fat burning" level of exercise only. Maybe later when I get slowly into better shape, I will kick it up to full cardio training.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
