Well, I got my heart fixed up. Next Friday I see the cardiologist again and hopefully will get the go ahead for more serious exercise. He already told me that I won't be able to do heavy weights or isometric exercise (affects the heart valve), but I will be able to do light weights (so I guess more repetitions?) and aerobic exercise (I just have to keep my heart rate below 150). Yesterday I walked 3 miles, it took an hour and I was very tired but I did it! I am determined to be a star. Now if my body would only cooperate with my mind!

That's awesome Meme! You go girl! 45 minutes is quite a challenge.

Julie, - you aren't out of shape. I know some people who can only do 1 minute or so on the treadmill and ellipitical..lol. So yeah.. you're good and you'll be even better as time progresses.

Karey, sounds like better news than from before. Keeping your heart rate under 150 is doable.

My target HR is 153 - 156, which is cardio.

Please be careful Karey, you're already a star.

What do you think about Bowflex Gyms? We are considering purchasing one, however, I am wondering if they are comparable to anything else on the market (just pricier). I don't really think I want to change cables each time, but...

Does anyone have one? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Kat.

      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!!

      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
