I Made The Call

AvMed doesn't recognize or offer provisions for gastric surgery.

Look's like I will need to start winning instead of just playing around with a hobby and make some quick cash for Mexico.

In the meantime, one meal per day.

what about adding swimming every day. good on your knees. MY OPINION is you need cardio, brother.

Had a friend recommend this Kato. I need to check it out. The old mentality is you are in the water so what real good is it doing? He says though I would be surprised.

 

[kato]

ur friend is right

find a gym or the YMCA that has a pool --- please go this route

Fiver, that is what we are talking about here with Kato. The exercise is the real problem due to the knees. I can appreciate the tough approach though and I need to kick my own ass.

Your body will not like you if you eat one meal a day. Your body needs the energy to burn the calories. A more realistic approach that worked for me was to eat a big breakfast. I know few people who have lost weight who skips breakfast. Breakfast is important as it will give you the energy to burn off calories throughout the day. Ideally you want dinner your lightest meal and do not eat within 3-4 hours of bedtime (empty calories). I guarantee if you did this, cut out fast food, and quit pop (diet included) and drank water instead - you will notice a difference.

Exercising - I would recommend something simple like walking around the block or using a treadmill. It should be low-impact, but something to raise your heart rate. Get a good pair of walking shoes. Start small, 15-20 minutes 3-4 times a week, then bump it 10-15 min longer.

My orthopedic surgeon recommended swimming because of my knee, Wally. It's a very good suggestion.

swimming offers low-impact resistance wal. did you get that joint juice i recommended? it really does work.

 

[reno cool]

What did the juice do for you FW?

The cartiliage wears down. The glucosamine helps grow it back, thus cushioning the joints in his knees. Combined with diet and low-impact exercise, he will notice a difference. I lost 75 pounds this way.

FW, my orthopedic specialist told me it wouldn't do me any good at this point because I am actually bone on bone. He does prescribe something like that but told me I would just be wasting money.

Then you need a knee replacement.

So are you able to walk Wally? Is it day to day?
