Although, I prefer to exercise alone at the gym, I like the idea of a NYC Lapband meetup group that focuses on fitness activities and common goals.

The Parks Dept offers a range of free and low cost fitness venues and activites. Such as bouldering, sunset yoga, horseback riding, skating, etc.

I hope some of these ideas can facilitate the process of gathering NY bandsters. Good Luck linking people up!

Wow, Gwen, you've done fantastic! When & where were you banded?

I'm a card carrying couch potato, and excersise has never been high on my list. But now that I've lost a bit of weight, I am enjoying more activity - mainly walking.

I'm thinking of getting a WII - something I can do at home. Have you ever tried it?

I'd be interested in staying in touch, and maybe working my way up to some light activity.

      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.
