No issues....unless i test "her".
All the problems i have ever experienced have been my own doing...not following the band rules...
I stick to a plan and workout every day...
Best of luck to you...its definitely not an easy road...

Just add it in 2-3 days per week and lift weights the other days. That way you’re still toning too. You can also wake up earlier and do insanity in the morning and do your other routine in the evenings. I did T-25 and i love it. I also do boxing and heavy weight lifting.

Well I doubt I will ever become,a total gym rat, my 72byear muscles might rip if I lifted real weights, but,you,know I can improvise. I can go from Soup, cans to V8 cans to a 5 pound bag of something in each hand, then a 10 pound and then, just then, I can go to 25 pounds? The sky,might,be the limit even for a near-geriatric broad. And I can cheer you real weightlifters, the bench pressers, I may be minor league in comparison but each clean and jerk I'm your God mother rooting at the edge of the gym.!😛👍😛

I always say resistance training because when I say weight training People tend to think Arnold lifting ,,,
I use both machines , dumbbells , barbells , bands etc... any weight baring exercise ... my story is I got vsg in a June of 2016 , I have always trained with weight since 2007 so before my surgery I did heavy abs workouts with ball, machines etc.. think that is what help with not having any extra skin , I am 55 so a little harder to lose weight and maintain but my rountine is for longevity , my rountine , is I work out at gym after work. ( I sit down all day) Monday , Wednesday and Fridays , 1hr weights , 30 min elliptical, tues and Thursdays some sort of leisure cardio with friend 3 mile walk , or a long bike ride , Saturday at 6 or 7am go to the gym and I do a c25k for 30, light weight training on muscles did not work during weeks and end with a 30 min cardio be it elliptical or stair climbing or some other machine , they have Netflix so I just do something and watch a 30 min show .. I try to do a rountine that I will do for the rest of my days. I make sure I do at least 2 days of training a week , anything over that is gravy . but I make sure I at least do mon and wed , I schedule stuff around those days so no excuse ,,, seems to work , i am also a personal trainer so I have about 4 clients right now but when I retire I will pick up more.. but all in all bottom line is weight training , resistance is a must and should be kept in your routine

While this article isn't specific to ketosis-breath or "camel breath", it does offer suggestions that may help. Spoiler alert: no mints of any kind, they just mask the problem and make it worse. Does this mean you're destined to chewing on parsley leaves all day? Maybe.

Good thing you're not a woman. Camel toe and camel breath. That's an embarrassing combination.

I was banded oct of 2014...so a few years now.
There is no way i would have enough steam to do cardio after weights. Lol...usually im bushed...but i will def. try!
So when you say resistance, isnt weights via machine say rows or leg press considered resistance?
I always read cardio warm up followed by heavy weights less reps, till you cant complete with good form, followed by lighter weights, more reps?
Ugh...so much different info...maybe swap one day out for cardio? And see how that goes....

do not give up on your resistance training... try super setting ... I do my warm ups by doing light weight higher rep for first set , and do my 30 min cardio after my resistance training ... doing cardio after give me more energy to lift the weights .. do a cardio day .. just my opinion .. my surgeon wanted me to just do weights and no cardio at all .... muscle gives you a more fit look as to many people I know who just did cardio looked like they where wearing a skin suit . if you want any ideas on super sets routines go onto youtube , Whitney Simmons channels has some very good routines

Ok...so looking for some advice. First off let me start by explaining that my work schedule is hectic...im out the door by 530am and home roughly 530-6pm
Im a mom and a wife so that also keeps me busy.
I have a home gym with plenty of equipment, free weights, and bars/weights, pull up bar, elliptical, spin bike, treadmill, bowflex, weight benches and powerline p2x machine with the leg press...so no i never go to the gym and meet with personal trainers because i just dont have the extra time.
every night i work out...i run a mile, or spin for roughly 30 min (aka my warm up)...just long enough to get the pre work out to kick in.
Here is my routine not too detailed, but what i rotate...usually pick 5 exercises that target that spacific group and do 4 rounds of 10-15 reps
Mon- warm up + 1 hr back
Tue-warm up + 1 hr shoulders
Wed-warm up + 1hr arms/bi's/tri's
Thur-warm up + 1hr legs
Fri-warm up + 1hr abs
Sat-warm up + 1hr chest
Sun-warm up + 1hr back
And rotate back through the list.
So long story short... the roughly 1.5 hours that i have avalible each night is my max time...you know before dinner homework ect.
My delema is this...i wanted to do another round of insanity (30 day program) to switch things up...its about 45 min long cd's.
Is it worth quitting the weight lifting/warm up to do a month of crossfit style exercise? I only have time for 1 or the other....

I had a miscarriage between my kids and also did not appreciate people asking when I was going to have another.
WTF am I supposed to say? "I tried, but it died and had to be surgically removed. Thanks for asking"

I did have fertility issues - I was able to get pregnant, but had multiple miscarriages. “Well intentioned” people said some of the most awful things or asked the most hurtful questions, having no clue of their impact. After my fifth miscarriage, and someone telling me, “Well, maybe God’s just telling you that you don’t need to have anymore children” the DAY I came home from the hospital with empty arms, I decided that I didn’t have to be “nice” when people inserted themselves into my life uninvited. I thankfully WAS able to have another child. People just don’t think before they speak.

I don't usually rant but I can't help it this time,
This Saturday someone older ,whom I respect , approached me to try to pry information out of me on if I had WLS.

First I'm super private about all aspects of my life so the fact that I didn't tell them should be a hint that I didn't want to have the conversation.

Second this person is Morbidly Obese and battling diabetes etc and could benefit from this surgery but I say nothing as it is not my place to play prophet for WLS.

Third they tried to counsel me on weight loss now and what not to do, i.e. Not to lose anymore weight, don't understand why I did it, etc...

HOW DO YOU EVEN DEAL WITH THIS?!??

I have an obnoxious gossipy aunt who loves to milk people for this kinda crap so she can spin it and spread it....so I don't mind having some fun with her.
I just tell her outrageously creative lies.
She isn't interested in anything factual. She doesn't really care or want to empathize. She wants tabloid entertainment for neighborhood publication.....so I let her have some.
How did I lose so much weight?
My new crack addiction.
Witchcraft
Eating only watermelon for thirty days.
Dedicating my life to the service of David Miscavige
Mail order tapeworms from Brazil.
Pancreatic cancer.
A new deadly gluten allergy.
Playing Dance Dance Revolution
Fat cryotherapy

She gives me a hateful look, I get a chuckle, and next time maybe she picks a different target for her shenanigans.

Don't you just love it when this forum highlights "eggs" with the intent of focusing on something healthy except it's really highlighting TAPEWORM eggs.

Mail order tapeworms from Brazil- WOW- don't we do ANYTHING,domestic anymore?

Light weights and more reps will not build muscle. The only way to build new muscle tissue is by over stressing the existing muscle to the point of tears. Then with caloric surplus, the Protein is used to build new, tougher tissue to repair the stressed muscle. All the light weight/high rep plans will do for a person is condition the existing muscle to have endurance. Yes it will be more efficient at burning calories over a longer period of time, but you will not be getting stronger.

I am 10 years out and no problems, and I don't see anybody complaining about the after effects of RNY and the sleeve. My niece had the RNY about 15 years ago and from the restricted diet she was on permanently, her bones are so brittle that when she fell last year she broke her leg in 3 places because of lack of vital nutrients caused from the elimination of necessary Vitamins and minerals that you get from food in your body and not eliminated at a higher rate with the surgery. I hope to keep my band forever, but I am geting pretty sick of all the negativity of people not following the band rules and having problems because of it, so they need it removed.

It is a hard decision ,unless you are overrestricted and can't eat and drink enough.

I'm lucky to still have my band and no major issues at almost 11 years. I keep the fill low and don't argue with my band most of the times Maintaining 90 lb loss till last unfill. Now 80 lb loss. Sigh
I do worry when I read the boards about all of the complications though.

Seems as if bands have their own ideas for what will agree with them.. and mine is not consistent.
I deal with it every week...
It has been many years, but I won’t give up!!

That is one of my all time fav songs.🤣🤣🤣...
And if you are going to get into weight lifting, and be serious about it, be prepared for a lot of people who act like him....
Things people have told me-
Dont get too big, you dont want to look like a man
Women shouldnt lift weights
You like to lift weights? Gross
The things people say that make it totally worth it?
My daughter-mom, flex for *** show her your muscles
Wow i didnt realize you were so strong
I bet you could kick my ass!
😉

I stop by every now and then! 😁
Weight has been holding steady and doing fine....it just seems like life gets so busy! And i've noticed not many banders left

I know my restriction levels change quite often.....even things like humidity play a factor.....has anything changed?
