Just wondering how many available men are out there because most the post are from women?? I’m single in NC. Let’s get this post up and thriving and ladies you are welcome to respond!😎

My surgery is not listed, but I had the SADI. I was just wondering if anyone is feeling unmotivated to work out? I'm getting my energy back and all necessary Vitamins and Protein. I think I feel less motivated to work out since I'm already losing weight!!! I'm 3 months post op by the way. Has anyone else dealt with this?

thanks
Terri

I love Fairlife shakes only!

I am three months out and have not been able to motivate myself to exercise either. I need to though as I am also able to eat larger portions and feel like I may be close to putting myself into maintenance if I can’t cut back on the Snacks. At least the weight loss has slowed WAY down already and I am nowhere near goal.

Exercise for it's own sake is boring. BORING. As such, I've never cared to sustain 'working out.' Even when I was much younger and decent shape I didn't do gyms. Hated it. But participating in sports I enjoyed. Games are fun, gyms not so much.
When I had my surgery we lived in Las Vegas. My surgery was open (cut open stem to stern then a drain for a couple weeks) so doing much of anything wasn't going to happen. Heck, breathing barely happened because any movement was painful. Thinking of breathing was slightly less painful. Once the tubes and staples were removed we began doing all sorts of people watching and walking.
The first walk I was able to make it perhaps a hundred or so meters. As time moved on and weight moved off we were walking up to 10 miles up and down the strip or wherever else we walked. Still, exercise for it's own sake was not in my plans.
When I got down to a weight that began with 2-- I had an abundance of energy and thought it would be interesting to see if I could do the 'couch to 5k' program to see if I could run 5k. I had no intention of doing more than accomplishing the goal. When I managed running the 5k I found it was enjoyable. As running became part of my daily routine I found it gave me time to ponder the day ahead and to listen to audio books.
A few times I tried hitting the treadmill in the gym. I did everything identical to running outside and it was pure torture. Hated every step. The gym felt crowded and I felt on display whereas outside I felt free and alone. So, I never did 'work out' in a gym.
Do what you enjoy. If you like it you will do it. It's your life do it your way.
Good luck,
Tek

Very lovely! It’s such an accomplishment! Wat to go

I had the SADI on March 23. I feel great! I have issues with gas, but infant gas drops do the trick. I’m getting better and have more energy every day. I’ve been experimenting with the different Vitamin samples. I spend a lot of time cooking for my 4 kids and love it! I started a small herb garden on my porch today. It’s amazing how much time we have now that we aren’t preoccupied with eating. Anyone surgery twins with me???

My SADI is March 23rd. I’m ready for this preop diet to stop!
