When you exercise you need to change it up daily. Try cardio first day. Day 2-15 mins cardio followed by arms and upper body finish 15 mins cardio. Day 3-all cardio. Day 4-10 mins cardio then legs and lower body finish with15 mins cardio. Change it up or your body will get used to the excersise you are doing and won't get you anywhere. Hope this helps. Remember to give your body a break at least once or twice a week.

Dara where do you live? I'm having mine done at Brigham and Women's. I live in Attleboro.

You'll be fine. Your insurance approved both so having 2 shouldn't matter. My approval went as follows : lap band removal approved. Gastric bypass approved. My Dr was going to do it all at once but couldn't. We are setting a new date for end of February to first week of March. I asked her if I would need another approal and she said no. Anyways, good luck to you.

I'm having my surgery on Monday 7:30 am.

Good luck. You can do it!!! I've been smoke free for 25 years. so I know it's not easy. Take the money you save for every pack of cigs you would havehave bought and take a little vacation with that money next year. Good luck again.

oh and my but said we can drink sugar free carnation instant breakfast for your protein shake. Another drink (hard to find) is Special K protein packets pink lemonade flavor. My daughter-in-law said she orders them from Amazon.com

I bought my muscle milk at Walmart, 4 pack for $5.98. I just bought 10 packs for $59.80. That's 40 bottles. If you have a Vitamin Shoppe near you they sell individual bottles if you want to try it. Syntex NectarNectar isolate is also good. Plus if you buy what they sell and don't like it you can return itit. For those of you that don't know, isolate means it will desolve better.

Get yourself a couple pretty plates child size like corning ware salad plates. Crystal light it will still count as a water. I get the packets cause it just ads to a 16.9 oz.bottle. I'm starting to buy my tomorrow. Walmart. has sugar free muscle milk 100 calories 4 pack. I bought it to try and LOVE it!!! 15 grams protein. Good luck!

That stinks. Is everything OK? Did you have to cancel it or did the surgeon?

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

The only ones that know about mine are my husband, 3 kids, sister and a cousin I'm very close to. My daughter-in- law and her parents know also as they all had gastric bypass done. They will be some more of my support group. No one on my husband's side though as they too look at me like, that didn't work did it? I hate feeling like a 5 year who needs to explain my actions to everyone. This is MY journey not theirs and they are not welcome along if they can't help supply the gas ( support ) lol.
