Recommended Posts

I have only been banded for 2 weeks and I am walking a mile on my treadmill about 4 times a week. :D I will not add more until I get the ok from my doc, but I am really ready to kick it up and drop these pounds a lot faster.

Any new advice will be great...

I do p90m now but started off on the treadmill as well. Remember to build yourself up slowly.

I have started running and it has changed my body. I did the c25k program on my iphone. And I never ran a day in my life. I waited 4 wks after surgery and got docs okay. lost more inches than lbs. I eat about 1000-1200 cals on my good days

I do 40 minutes on the treadmill. I jog for 4, walk for 1 et... It's called interval training and is suppossed to burn more fat. I steadily lost about 10 pounds a month and have been at goal for 3 months.

Start using that shiny little pedometer again. And even when you go back to work...walk outside during lunch. Even though it's cold, let that motivate you to get it over with. I'm pretty sure you have a back-up team that will go with ya!!!

Keep up the good work and don't let anyone get you down.

I've heard that running really helps melt the fat away. My hubby is a runner and swears he's gonna have me running next year (2011). I use to run a little in high school and yes, I was much thinner.

I am looking forward to at least trying. If it helps boost my metabolism I am willing to try. In addition to my Zumba classes of course. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Zumba :D so much fun !

I do an hour of cross training 4-5 times a week and 1-2 hours of cardio (arc trainer and elliptical) 4-5 times a week (so somedays I double up and do two workouts). And Im eating 850-950 calories a day for the most part.

Let's see.. the first 7 months all I did for exercise was walk my dogs.. for about a mile or more per day. I also parked far away from stores and walked shopping carts all the way back to the stores instead of using the corrals. I don't walk my dogs as far these days, but I still park far away and return carts.

21 months out from surgery now and I do Body Pump (for strength & toning, not body building), Step Aerobics, Yoga, Pilates, RPM (about the same as Spinning) and Zumba. I should start running, but am a bit leary of it.

I started walking until I got clearance for more. Now I still walk and I use my Wii. I use EA Active, Biggest Loser, and my new fav is Dance Party 2. DP2 is so fun you forget that you're working out.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
