For years I wanted to go to a Yoga class. Yesterday I attended my first class! I was able to hang for the whole class. So I was beyond thrilled! Afterwards my sister and I walked on the treadmill for a couple miles and spent some time on the stepper too. We finished up with a healthy fruit Protein smoothie from the gym's bar to celebrate! Can't wait to try Zumba and Pilates!!! Loving this sleeved life! Blessings!

I just read that my local recreation center will begin offering Yoga soon. I am like THE most unflexible person with two left feet..so I am a bit afraid to try. But I do remember a time in my life when I could do backbends and backwalkovers..so I would love to get back to that point :)

I am going back Tuesday. Was challenging and made me sweat, which surprised me. But it relaxed me too which was wonderful. Definitely adding this tool to my arsenal.

I say go for it if it is ok with your doctor. It is go at your pace. If you can't do the poses, then you have rest positions. Try it. Let me know how it goes!

im 2 days away from surgery, I tried yoga on a program on our smart TV for the first time last week. (im 16 lbs down since starting the pre-op diet & was feeling accomplised!) Ive always wanted to try yoga but im not that flexible & steady! I tried it & liked it. I want to try again post op & compare it to preop, to see how far Ive come. I can't wait. Ive looked into the DDP Yoga, which is supposed to be for anyone...I dont think I'd want to go to a studio for a long while yet.....good job fellow yoga girls!

Hey all, I love yoga as well. I found a yoga student that is a couple months shy of receiving her license and she needed to practice and she has been great. It's like have personal yoga trainer. We have been taking advantage of the nice weather in in VA so we hold classes in the park and it is wonderful.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
