CERRIN - thanks for wanting to do an exercise challenge.......Not really sure how to start it, but I was reading other months and trying to fiugure out what they do.....I really want and need to start my exercise now!!!! 30 minutes walking everyday minimum.....You with me??? Anyone else want to join us???

I am all aboard !! how long after surgery can we start to workout My Christmas present to my self is a teadmill:D

I think about 6weeks post op before you can really begin working out....

I need to just start moving first before even going to the next level of working out...

I'm with you Carol. I took great accomplishment in going shopping today without my scooter. My knees hurt like the devil but it felt good and I wa only able to do one store but spent a bit of time in it carrying around a basket full of stuff.

Also, wanted to pass on what I heard today in my weight loss support group. I think the same thing can apply to exercising. Don't set yourself up for failure. Instead of planning for 7 days a week, make it a more reasonable, attainable and committed goal like 3 or 4 days. Not that you can't do 7 but aim for at least 3 to 4. And don't beat yourself up if one week you don't make your goal. Do the best you can.

Hello,
I really need some motivation.... I have about 18 days until surgery and would like to exercise each day until then... I just have trouble actually doing it. Always find something more important.

Do we want to start another thread for the challenge? I don't think that I have seen one that has been started. Let me know your thoughts!!

December Surgery Dates
I thought I would start a thread and as we get more Merry Losers than they can copy and paste and add their names.

YES!!! Let's definitely start another exercise challenge thread for the MERRY LOSERS....

Surgery date Dec 3rd 2007 ;)

YAY ANT your with me and Parrott!!!!! :clap2:

I got my butt up today and did 3 10 minute sessions on the treadmill.
I am so out of shape that it hurts to do any more than 10 minutes at a time. Geessssssssssss that is so sad!!

There are so many of us having surgery in December. Even tho it is around the holidays.... it is still good timing. What a better way to bring in the New Year!!!!

Question..... What is PBing? I feel so unknowlegable :)

hmm they did say 3 people ahead of me on date of surgery... lol

when you starting liquid diet? I got Pre-op stuff on Nov 20th and Seminar so im guessing Nov 21st I start on liquid till Dec 3rd.

ANTS - 11/26 I'm starting pre-op. Doctor said I only need to do 6 days liquids and 7th day clear liquids....I'm on the East Coast so I don't think we are going to be in the same hospital...LOL
