That is fantastic! I started 2 months after I was banded and it just helped melt the weight. I never thought I would say I love working out but now I feel like a slug if I miss more than one day a week! Good luck on your journey!

Awesome!!!

The benefits last far outside the time in the gym. An hour workout raises your metabolism for as much as 48 hours, even while sleeping.

You also end up with more energy in general, so you are more likely to do the little things around the house and yard you've been avoiding, which burns even more calories.

Keep it up!

Two months ago was my 1st day, and I will have to say that if I would have known that it would be like this, I would have been going all along. I was full of energy during and well into after I left the gym. I do not view it as a chore at all. I kow that I am going to feel more enegy afterwards on top of feeling better about myself. When I first started, I did not have a MP3 player, and it sucked, but once I got me some music going. It made it a blast. Be sure to download fat as well as slow songs for your cardio, and cool downs.

      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.
