    The best answer I have ever heard on this question is "whatever gets you to move consistently". It should be something you enjoy and will do consistently. There is no one correct exercise regime.
    I am a runner. I am also a swimmer, but I haven't been able to get motivated to swim much lately so for now I just run mostly and do some strength training. I started about a year ago with the Couch to 5k program. (google it or get the app.) If you can walk for 30 minutes without difficulty you can do the program. I still set no land speed records, but I have run a 10 mile race as well as numerous 5ks. I have a 5k coming up in a weekish. I am also schedule for 2 10 mile races and 2 half marathons between now and October. This is what works for me. I am hooked on running. Even in the cold winters in MN, I run outside!
    Find your bliss and stick with it. It will serve you well!

    I just substitute stevia for the honey since I'm on very low carb.

    Does anyone drink ACV on a daily basis? What are your detox tonics?
    Mine is ACV, lemon, stevia, cinnamon and cayenne pepper in warm Water.

    Everybody is different. But I too believe exercise plays a huge role in weight loss. Clean eating is great. I had surgery March 29th 2016, SW 240, CW 136. I work out an hour, six days p/week, plus no carbs 5 days p/week. For me, it's been realizing the daily carb intake makes me gain. And, makes me want more carbs, so it's a slippery slope. 50 lbs is fantastic, you should be proud of that loss! Good luck in your journey and figuring out what works best for you.

    There are a lot more options than just Protein shakes..after my gastric sleeve I couldn't handle the Protein shake..it makes me completely nauseated..but there are tons of different flavored Soups, hot chocolates, fruity Protein Drink inserts..If your surgical team doesn't sell products..just go to Amazon and put in Proti Diet or Bariatric Choice..lots of options. I'm even eating a Protein oatmeal from Proti Diet..

    I think we all know in our head if we aren't doing everything on track..I guess my question is..can you really feel..why did I bother when you lost 50 lbs and also know you need to do better on Water and exercise? I'm a lower BMI and I am losing weight pretty slow..but I also know if I haven't had a successful week..I evaluate what I could have done better and try to readjust for the next week.
    A little over 50 lbs is my top weight loss goal..so I say..WOW 50 lbs in 5 months..give me some of that success!!!
    So maybe you need to readjust your thinking first and say..wow..go me!!! I'm 50 lbs less than I was and I got this!
    Just get that Water in and start getting that exercise in and see if you break that stall. You might surprise yourself. Good luck ((HUGS))

    Lucky2Lose got a reaction from tlewis2005 in Why are some days so hard to eat?   
    I've noticed some days I can eat the same food where one day I feel fine and the next time my sleeve doesn't seem to like what I'm putting in it? Have you experienced this? Today lunch, I've had a few times before but this time it is not sitting well. I'm almost 10 weeks out from surgery. Think it's just where I'm still healing?

    Feeling great..walking 15,000 steps a day..on top of that I'm weight training 3 days a week and running on the elliptical 2-3 times a week. Still living my diet plan..but got to add vegetables this week..WHOOOO HOOOO!!! My energy level is optimal. My weight has been very slow coming off but it was slow putting it on originally, I keep telling myself. I am not weighing myself because it's becoming an addiction and if results don't happen I beat myself up..so my stats are 2 weeks old. My first support group is Monday..excited to see folks I went to Bootcamp with. So thankful and happy I did this..just for me.

    I'm only 9 weeks out from my sleeve surgery..I do everything..15,000 steps a day plus elliptical, weights, yoga, jogging..no problem. Our team cleared me for heavier workouts besides walking 4 weeks out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I feel like taking the step and getting the surgery is our desire to change..no true change comes without wanting it but also the backbone of change is the hard work. Just my 2 cents. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
