Name 5 Non-Food Related Activities - Life After Wls



Recommended Posts

Now that my life isn't focused on food, it's time to get out and enjoy the world. Share 5 things you want to do more of. My goal is to have fun, try different things and not replace an old addiction with a new one.

1. Movies (this one is debatable as to whether food is involved)

2. Exercising

3. Reading and participating in my book club

4. Buying myself flowers once a month

5. Get regular pedicures

I love the idea of treating myself to pedicures in lieu of food treats!

1. Shop (I just want to enjoy it again!)

2. Go skating with my kids

3. Walk... Walk.... Walk

4. Sit the duration of one of my son's sporting games without my legs going numb or back hurting.

5. Play outside with my kids. Build snowmen, create angels and throw leaves ;)

Oh this is easy:

1. Walking - everyday

2. Water aerobics - love the way it tones my body

3. Winter sports - snowshoeing, cross country skiing

4. Swimming, snorkelling

5. Bike riding

I am looking forward to the winter sports as fall is in full swing.

I'm going outside with the kids now. It's been awhile. Thanks for that suggestion. Can't wait to shop to, just hope I don't become addicted.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
