I am so glad that I feel better too, that was a rough month and a half, cause literally right after I started feeling better from the surgery I got sick, and it's just been awful, but now I am starting to feel normal all around and I need to get my motivation to get moving and get to a gym, and start working out, I only have 22-1/2 weeks till the wedding and I need to get these pounds that I want gone to be gone. Thankfully I only gained like 2 lbs during the holidays and with the surgery and everything and I have now already gotten that off, but now I just need to get to the below that point and get to my goal. We only have 2 months till our one year surgery anniversary!!! I know I am not going to loose 24 lbs in 2 months but I can try to get close!!!

I'm with you both! GET MY BUTT TO THE GYM!! I have about 5-9 pounds to first goal and want to go a bit further for a little comfort zone. I wish I LOVED working out...but I DON"T ha!! Glad I'm not the only one struggling with the exercise piece.

I am almost 2 years out from my surgery and I gained 5 lbs over the holidays without even realizing it! I didn't make my usual cookies, which I can't control, and I didn't make any sweet breads, another big temptation. I must have just let too many carbs in. I went thru a phase where food just didn't taste good at all and I was eating corn dogs, I know terrible choice. I wonder if that was enough to push me back? I was eating 2 every day for lunch. Then I started craving carbs like crazy over the last couple weeks. I got myself on my Pilates machine again yesterday and did a 20 minute aerobic dance workout and I do feel so good about that. And I have gone back to eating protein drinks and soup for a couple days to shrink my stomach again. (Kind of like the 5 day pouch test) but I haven't been eating large quantities, just not staying full like I used to. I think it's just a phase and I will get myself back on track now. Especially with exercising again. I can't believe how ROTTEN I feel when I don't work out and how GOOD I feel when I do!!! And still it's so easy to sit on that couch and not move!! I work at home on a computer so if I don't work at it I could just not move much in a day at all.
