I was just wondering if anyone knew of any toning exercises (to help prevent the sagging skin) that could be done at home? I'm still just starting to lose and not really ready to head to the gym yet and work out in front of people so I've just been working out at home. Should I even be worrying about toning yet?

- Bodyweight II - Belly Off

I know this link is to a guys site, but the workout listed is designed to be done at home or without a gym. I would also look at the No Gym workout. It should help with toning exercises.

I just started about 2 months ago and I was banded almost a year ago. I got some of the Biggest Loser DVDs and LOVE THEM. My favorite: Power Sculpt and Weight Loss Yoga I try to alternate as well as power walk for more cardio. I've exercised before but only cardio never weights or toning. Now that I've started I'm really into it and best of all I can see a difference. I have muscles in my arms and legs that I never knew where there, its amazing. For the first time in my life I will be not overweight and toned. Going to do the Yoga now :-)

I do the Slim in 6 video at home. I love it. And they are simple exercises but at the end of the video you are really tired and the next day you can really feel it. Before I had my kids I did them and got toned with lean muscles and great stomach and was in a six 6 at 5'11''. Looked great. Then came the babies. Lol. Good luck!

      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.
