Has anyone done the Body-for-Life 12week challenge since surgery? I'm thinking about it but know I can't do the food part...way too much food per meal. Any ideas? I've hit a month long stall and it's my fault because I haven't begun exercising and it's time to do something

I did it before surgery ( about 6 years before) the workouts are great and when I do weights I still use the workout journal. It's awsome to see how much stronger you get over time. And other than how MUCH food you are eating, the eating guide is quite good ( if I remember right). Lower carbs, higher Protein. Good way to go I think : )

I, too, followed this program years ago with great success. I've never been as strong as when I ended that twelve weeks. I would think that with some tweaking you could get close to that diet, mostly less veggies and carbs and a bigger focus on Proteins and shakes.

Thank you for this post. I am stuck, need a shake-up and had not thought of this program in years. I might be following you into it! I absolutely love Bill Phillips' motto, "Fail to plan, plan to fail."

Good Luck!

Amanda

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

      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! 😞
