So this is my 7th week post-op. I started going to the gym and am doing the c25k and lifting weights. On monday i did 70 crunches on one of the machines with 35lb weights - i was still pretty sore from Monday, but on Wednesday i did 100 with 35lbs. Hopefully this will help with loose skin issues. Thoughts?

Yeah she could sue if: (1) she can find an attorney to take it. (2) has a backup job asap bc that would pretty much be the end of that one. (3) feels like waiting 4-5 years while it gets drug out in court.

Surprisingly enough i only had to walk for the last jog section - i still bumped the speed from 3.2 to 3.8 on the treadmill for that section. Didnt think i could last that long!

Going to start the app today... Wish me luck

Pics or it didnt happen lol

Wow thats amazing! You look like a totally different person!

Ugh! Only down 8lbs in the last 30 days. That blows. Youd think after everything weve put ourselves through itd at least go a LITTLE faster... Would 15 have been too much to ask for? :-/

Wow... so sorry to hear it. Think of the new opportunities that will open up once you get the surgery and make your way down the journey to a new healthy you...

I can walk at 3.5mph with an incline fine.. its the running part that will get me..

Ok so I'm down 36lbs and six weeks out so I figure now's as good of a time as any to start exercising/weight lifting. I'm horribly out of shape though (as I'm sure a lot of us here are). I'm looking for tips from those of you who hadn't been an overweight but in great shape person prior to surgery (if that makes sense - you know a big guy that's even bigger b/c he lift a ton of weights and works out). Someone recommended insanity, but I think I'll fall out from a heart attack lol the name alone scares me. I'm going to the gym tonight for the first time in a while to start on cardio and some weights... for motivation I've already signed up and paid for a "Run for your Lives" Zombie 5k that's coming here in June (You should seriously check it out - the youtube videos are insane). I've never run except to chase an ice cream truck as a kid so this should be interesting. I have the C25K app but I can't even handle the day one routine of jog 90 sec, walk 60, for 30 mins... So.. tips... How should I start this process? I DO have a bad knee... but everything else is fine. I need to build up endurance for the run and strength/muscle too for some of the obstacles (and to tighten up/prevent loose skin in the process). Would love to hear what you guys/girls did!

Life saver after surgery

Dont let anyone scare you or make you feel bad. If you feel ok still then you didnt hurt anything. I attempted solids two weeks out (chewed extremely well to the point of puree) and im still doing great.

About four days - if its been a few call and ask if you can have it escalated

Congrats cant wait till i can join you!
