Set a time and go just like any other appointment you have. Dont think about it just go. I find once i am there and start i feel great. Its just that moment when you have to go that can jam you up.
I always feel so much better after the workout than i did before.
For me at least it kills any hunger i had before and i dont want to eat for a couple hours after i workout

Sometimes motivation is tricky so i don't rely on it, instead try i make it routine. Build it into your life make it habit so that when motivation fails you have a pattern to fall back on. Can you find ways to casually slip exercises into your life that don't seem like huge adjustments? like lunges, planks, squats, taking the stairs for no reason, small dance parties just because, walking instead of driving to the store, etc. That way attending the gym does not dictate whether or not you exerciseVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Ignore the negativity! Do what’s best for you, get the surgery. It’s your life, your body and YOUR health! I support you. 💓

Many people say I should not have gotten the surgery but I feel better and look better so I am happy and that’s what matters.

I had surgery May 28th. I am doing well. I am going into week 7 and pretty much eating regular food but only a very little and still not managing chicken or beef unless they are blended. I have thrown up a couple of times and I suspect it was because I had a lot of gas at the time I ate and I likely ate too quickly. There were a few days when I ate crap that was left over in the house pre surgery and from my parents visit (they stayed with me 3 weeks after surgery) but I am back on track.
I have found that weight is moving better now that I have started to exercise. I do 40 minutes on the treadmill and I have started to mow my own lawns with a push mower (over an acre!!!) Its about 3 to 4 hours of mowing the last 2 days and I have lost 2 lbs just from that. So exercise really does help get WL going
I still suffer with bad gas and its still very uncomfortable . I have not really had acid reflux at all, just a few times in the early days. I still have to learn how to control how much I eat because I get terribly full and feel crappy after. instead of 3 small meatballs I should eat only 2. I tend to still prefer liquids, smoothies and have learned to make ones 200 cals and under that are nutrient dense. People say not to eat peanuts but they have saved my life in terms of things that make me satiated. I eat small bags that are 160 calories and perfect. I chew the heck out of them
I am down 40 lbs as of today and very pleased with that! Looking to loose 10 lbs each month
