15 months post-op - I have a personal trainer I work with for 30 minutes twice a week. On those days, I also run 30 minutes or more.

Then three additional days a week, I run at least 45 minutes and do more resistance training for 15-20 minutes.

My doctor said walking right away walk walk walk.. I started the stationary bike at 3 weeks Doctor made a great suggestion this week, 3 types of exercise at least and do them no more than 2 days a week and not in a row.. gotta switch it up so the body doesnt get used to it

I work with a trainer two days a week, 60 minute sessions -- free weights, weight machines, TRX set up and stuff like Swiss ball squats (ouchie), planks (double ouchie) and sit ups. I try to get to the gym two other days a week to do cardio but really I should be doing something six days a week. I found I like rowing quite a bit, so will start changing that up between the treadmill. Just not quite there yet. I do feel better when I work out though.

      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?

      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.
