Please check w/your doctor 1st... I think I had a few months before I could do weights and in my boot camp we workout w/weights... And we do a lot of crunches... You are still healing so IMHO ck w/your doc to get clearance ...

I did it before surgery- best decision EVER!

I am only 4 days out from surgery now but am dying to get back to it. However I am kinda scared. The bootcamp program (like you described - special program not just a workout class) was VERY vigorous and physical. I stayed bruised up. I am so scared the amount of sit ups and going over rope walls and everything else will mess with the port. Thoughts?

Check w/your Doctor as to when you can start doing it again - I couldn't do crunches for a while or lift weights don't remember how long - Ck w/your doc.

Gastric banding is becoming a more and more popular means of weight loss. Gastric banding is an operation performed under general anasthetic. A surgeon will place an adjustable band around the top of the stomach to create a small pouch to hold food.

I came to New You Boot Camp 12st, when I left I was 11st 3lb. Since boot camp I have continued with the exercise and now know what to eat. I have lost nearly another two stone taking me down to 9stone 12lbs. I never thought I’d ever be in my 9 stones ever... Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

I went back last night for the first time in about 4 weeks - I'm having chemo and have a picc line in my arm that I had to let heal up and become well implanted.

Boy oh boy am I going to be sore by tomorrow, lol. And I could tell I have a few less red blood cells than I did a few weeks ago, a few of those burpees had me seeing black spots.

But oh, how I love brutal exercise, lol.

Good luck with yours, you'll have a ball.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
