I tried to start it, and realized i was in worse shape than I thought . I couldn't get past the day 1 in 2 months of trying 3 days a week. I even tried to do the run every other time even instead of every time. So good luck to you. Maybe post surgery I will have more success. I wish there was a couch to 5K for beginner beginners. LOL.

I'll be starting couch to 5K on January 3rd. I've been doing some tests of day one of the program using different smartphone apps to see which app works best for me. I've noticed it is way easier to do on the elliptical than on the treadmill or outdoors laugh.png.

I am starting January 9th. I have attempted it before. It is difficult, but if you do it at your own pace- it is always great. Look on youtube for BandedWendy, losingitwithrebecca or newtoy4kt. They have all done it and you can look in their vlogs to see their tips. They are all banders.. so they have great advice. Wendy is the farthest out (2.5 years) then Katie and then Rebecca. All great. Good luck!!

Thanks all for replying :) I heard about C25K from banded wendy, follow her on Facebook, and did good this week. I did the 3 days at my own pace. so far so good, good luck to all starting after the new year! I got from Wendy a cool site that has good music. I didnt download since I have a loaded Itouch but will over the break.

The site is: Kissmyblackass.org

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
