MOM. AKA Milk of Magnesia.

I swim almost daily. Yoga three times a week. Weights twice a week. Walk 1-3 times a day to get away from my desk, get fresh air, maybe sunshine. I'm not human without my routines.

I'm 5'3, lost 75#, CW 170# Weight on left:245ish

I've lifted for many years as well as pre post surgery. I love the Olympic lifts and whole body movements. I'm following this great thread.

My surgeon allowed coffee. I even had it for breakfast in the hospital. At Starbucks I get a short coffee, black ice tea with sugar free vanilla, green iced tea, tango passion tea iced or hot with sugar free vanilla. Get the app and check out all they have. I sometimes take my coffee home and add vanilla protein.

I'm at my niece's birthday party and I had this picture sent to me. I actually did a double take. #happysleever #sleevezilla

I started my journey January 2016. I was dead set against Bariatric surgery. I lost 50 lbs. I was approved and got a surgery date. After much consideration and discussion with my team I decided to have VSG. It is another tool I use and I'm glad I didn't put it off.

I started back with yoga and swimming on day 12. Loved being back and had no issues. I lift heavy free weights so we agreed to wait six weeks. Doctor said I could lift light now if I wanted.

Ideal lean is my fav. High Protein low carb. Many flavors and delicious. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=ideal+lean+protein+for+women&tag=hydsma-20&index=aps&hvadid=88521581542&hvpos=1t2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1573123968533306264&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9025851&hvtargid=kwd-195020640557&ref=pd_sl_91dph52owz_b&gclid=CMDNm5iIps8CFYkjgQod1igILA

I got to go to yoga and swim today! It was wonderful. So glad to be back.

Looking healthy! Way to go!

I started the journey in January dead set against VSG. The closer I got to September I went back and forth. Then as time got closer I was at peace with it. I'm so glad I did it. You will be too.

No comments here because I only told one person and she's having hers done as I type. Very happy for my decision about keeping it under wraps. #nonegativity

Sugar free popsicles and SF Jello.

Anyone lift heavy weights post surgery? I'm in to the Olympic lifts mainly. I was wondering if you had any issues getting back to lifting after surgery.

Friday will be two weeks for me. I'm getting my energy back and glad to have surgery day behind me. Congrats

What do you do with all the time? I'm lost. It will be better next week once I'm cleared to workout but it doesn't take much time to eat soooo what do you do with your time?

Surgery date Sept. 2. I have glue as far as I can tell on my incisions. When does it start to come off?

Damn! Looking good

Wait til your next dose of meds. Wait about 30 min. Then hit the floor walking those halls. Get tired. Go to bathroom and lay down. Rinse repeat. Walking has saved me. I'm like a puppy with my leash at the door.

Walking and just moving around.

Today I feel pretty good. Lol so strange. I'm going with it.

I am able to take in all Protein and stay hydrated. Mine is really more mental and fatigue. Checking BP is good idea. Thanks everyone you are making me feel better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I brought my own pillow and small blanket. I was so glad I had that blanket. I took some panties that made me feel good too. You'll be up and walking so something for your feet although I was provided non skid socks. Toothpaste, dental floss, toothbrush, feels so good to brush. I too wore same clothes home.
