I wondering if anyone has one of these. It goes under you desk at work. I was thinking about buying one they are cheap no more then 40 dollars. I have a desk job and i sit all day long and work on a computer. How many calories do you think you could burn with one of these.

That does look interesting. I wonder how much it makes you move in your chair? Will people be walking by wondering why is she so squirmy does she have an itch we should be concerned about? lol.

I have one of these, and I guess I'd say it meets my expectations for the price. For me to use it comfortably, I use a low, soft living room chair and (tighten my abs and) lean back like I'm on a recumbent bike. After a while, the grippers start to rotate and it moves. I bought this because I don't yet have the range of motion for a full exercise bike, but needed to start moving my legs. I think you would have to be rather motivated to use this to get a long work-out, but it may be that I'm too short, heavy and/or out of shape.

      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.
