Exercising ...but at 300 lbs

Very true, thanks.

My biggest fear is being saggy and having no muscle at all

You're welcome.

As for the fears... Once you're cleared by your doctor, you can add some weight training to your exercise plan again. Even a little resistance training will help keep that muscle (Protein in the diet helps with this as well). And as for the sagging, it's up to your genetics. But they do say that exercising & weight training on a regular basis helps keep you better toned than if you did not workout at all.

if you're this committed now with boot camp, you will most likely be just as motivated post-surgery!

I have my surgery June 5th :) and like you I started working out before surgery to be ready for after it's been about two months now and I go everyday to gym for an hour or so and in 2 months have lost ONLY 10 pds I cried to my doctor and said really why only 10. He said right now your having surgery to help on what you couldn't do. Keep going to gym build up those muscles so after surgery it won't hurt so bad and motivation to keep going is already there.

We will make it and you are awesome to keep up with boot camp !! Keep up the great work

      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! 😞
