I WENT MOUNTAIN BIKING!

A really good stretch you can do with your hubs is to lay on your back' date=' keep on leg straight on the floor. Lift the other leg straight up against his chest (he is kneeling on the floor facing you) and have him push it forward......

Ok, I'm done now! :)[/quote']

Whoa....I need a cigarette now.

And girl the only stretching I did last night, was stretching my tired ass out on the bed!

I went to bed at 8:30! I was exhausted!

Oh and my ass is bruised :P

Yeah I was reading that on the edge of my chair thinking...."hmmm, where is this going?" I had to make double sure I wasn't in the powder room.

Hahaha! It really is a good partner stretch!

I bet. It's probably going to be sore for a while!

Don't laugh, well, you can laugh if you want, but when I was heavy I rode this:

(Hey, at least I was getting exercise) My husband and I would go for long rides and this bike is so comfortable to ride. I love it. Do not try mountain biking with this. :D

This year I bought a regular bike since I am at a normal weight now I figured I can ride a regular bike. Ouch, the first time I rode my butt was sore for weeks! Those seats hurt! The recumbent bike is much more comfortable,

I wish I was brave enough to put up my before picture of me on my recumbent bike...wow!

Lol! We have some older people around here that have those! :P

But yep you were out there doing it! That's most of the battle right there.

I was asking why can't I just put my cruiser seat on there! :D

Half way through the ride my husband and I switched seats because mine was stock.

It helped but a new bike is on order because the bike is small and the suspension kinda sucks.

Mine only had 2 wheels but it was comfy. This was way before surgery but I put many miles on it.

Damn I really had on some short shorts that day.....don't look.

Those are the straightest eyebrows I've ever seen. Not that anything else there is natural, but those just jumped right out. She had to have used a ruler when she painted them on.

One day, maybe just maybe, you will even enjoy the soreness you feel after a workout! I know that's pushing it but you never know it could happen. :)

A really good stretch you can do with your hubs is to lay on your back, keep on leg straight on the floor. Lift the other leg straight up against his chest (he is kneeling on the floor facing you) and have him push it forward. I LOVE this stretch, you should feel it in the back of your legs and glutes. Breath while you are stretching and you will get a better stretch. Usually when it starts to hurt we want to stop breathing and tense up if you breath through it you will stretch farther.

Also, stretch your arms and chest. You are probably going to feel soreness there tomorrow from being tense while you were riding.

Ok, I'm done now! :)

This is called the rower's stretch and this is BY far my favorite stretch. I do it with Bands at my trainers.

Great Job Laura! Let me know if you need any extra padding for those shorts, my jiggly butt has plenty :P

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
