I did it. I finally joined the gym at my job. Can't figure out why this make me giddy :wub: , but it does.

I am truly looking forward to starting a program and sticking with it. The center is staffed from 6:30a - 7:30p but members access it 24/7. I'm ready now, it's on!!! I see ONE(derland) coming soon. Ok, why am I THIS EXCITED!! Is it the sleeve? Alright, I'll take that. B):D

Now, can I get some advice on what I should be doing before / after workouts? What to wear...yes this is a serious question on my part because I don't know if I should wear something special because of being Sleeved.

:D Thank you my fellow Sleevers.

Congratulations! One step closer to healthy! I don't wear anything special except a girdle. I'm just 5 weeks out and still have incision pain and that helps. I usually wear basketball shorts (I may be addicted to Nike) and a loose tshirt. Good shoes are a must. I wear asics now but also love Nike and Addidas runners. Nike shoes can be linked to your ipod to track your progress. That will be my next pair. It will be my reward for hitting 250. Only 16 lbs to go!

I too am a Nike fan - always have been. I said when I see 'Onederland' (haven't seen her in decades :huh:) I was rewarding myself the those Nikes to link to my ipod.

I have a pair of run/walk (waffle design on sole) nikes now, so that will have to do for now. Heck I barely took them out of box. :o

Thanks for the info. :)

Those should be great! I can't wait to get the hot pink and black pair I have been eyeing for a year lol! Now I may actually be able to find a pair to fit since me feet have shrunk a bit!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
