Hi all, I am 6 weeks into it and cleared to go back to the gym and MMA training but am worried about getting worn out too easy. A lot of the guys I train with have pre workout powders and stuff but not really sure what to have. I was thinking about trying to adjust my food to give me the kick and stamina to get through a gruelling workout but I dont think I am eating enough as it is. I would really like to start training for a mini triathlon but that is still a ways off. I work shift work so cant do regular sessions at the gym but I'll find a way...lol. Im still on soft foods for another 3 weeks so thats where im up to with my diet.
Ready to get back into it.

Going out for a girls night Love my sleeve!!

Phew .... just caught up on the thread. Great to see all my old friends doing so well. Hi to everyone I haven't met yet. I'm sure you've already realised what a great bunch of people this is.
NSV this week. I can do (unassisted) pull up. It's a real milestone in my training. 44 years old and I've never done a strict pull up in my life before. Very happy.
Have a great day,
Deano

Thanks Bec, ill look into it. I'm doing as much homework n research b4 making any decisions.

Yeah Sue, I still get recognised lol. It's hard though they all think it was a magic diet. Saying stuff like they're really proud of the effort etc etc makes me feel like a bit of a fraud..... When asked I just say I eat heaps less and exercise more. After I have my skin chop I think I'll let everyone know. I don't feel ready to tell all until then. Aussie I have heard its pretty damn tough after skin chop, not really looking forward to it but like u said its a final piece to the puzzle. Thinking bout doing Thailand thingo for op .... Any suggestions. I'm out of cash after VSG.

10 months after surgery, getting there. I am now planning surgery, body lift and legs.

Thanks Kell, it will be about 18 months by the time I have surgery. I had a good photographer to hide my extras lol. It's my final chapter in my life change and ill be glad to be happy with the skin I'm in.

lol, stop it guys im Blushing........

Dons, I started at 150 kgs and before the plastics I landed in the 77-79 range, so 80 is definitely doable. I was aiming for 80 at first as well.
I did have almost 5 kgs of skin that was removed, so will be interested to see where I land now.
Thanks Ali
I.caught a glimpse of my arms today in the mirror while changing the compression garment, they are still puffy and bloated, with no bat wings hanging down...they look just normal..yehaaa...I have never had normal arms.
I am still carrying a fair bit of Fluid and draining a fair bit of stuff still so will see where my weight lands during the next week.
I am getting to go home from hospital today but still have 4 drains to monitor. But better than 4 more days in hospital

Hi everyone!!! Its been a long time........Ive been going over the posts and you guys are rocking...... . Im at that stage where im starting to look at a body lift. Has anyone been there yet?? If you know of any places in WA thatd b be tops. I think I have lost about 40 kgs so far and I reckon with the body lift it will take me to around 95kgs.
Theres been big changes for me since the op, Ive moved to WA in the Pilbara, obviously new job, Training heaps and loving the new me.
