Hello all.....just curious if anyone works out at Primere Fitness in Huber Heights? I just joined today. Figured I might as well pick up my exercising since I am pretty much healed from my tumor removal and hysterectomy. Didn't know if anyone else was a member and went there ever. Please let me know. I joined and also signed up my 15 yr old. Hoping that this will help her to lose some weight so she doesnt end up needing some sort of surgery later in life.

i joined the golds gym in west chester

talk about intimidating.....i do love the elliptical machines though, it is better on my knees than a treadmill. i have not braved the weights yet. i am sure i will never be one of those gym chics LOL!! i do know that my little cheapy mp3 player has saved me in there, i suggest one if you do not have one. it helps me zone out.

Thanks Miss Banster for the suggestion of an mp3 player. I do not have one. Today I took a steamy book to read while on the treadmill. Was it sorta exciting....lol kept reading and walking and walking and reading. I just didnt have the balls to put my big butt in a golds gym with all those beautiful bodies! They would go runnin the opposite direction if they saw me walking in the door.

...i joined the golds gym in west chester...

Are you talking about that brand-new one they just opened? When they were building that, I thought is was the new Ikea they're talking about building. That new Gold's Gym is HUGE.

How do you like it so far? I joined FitWorks last March, and stopped going because the personal trainers rotate -- one time you'll get one, another time you'll get someone different -- and one of them pissed me off, so I quit going. Just wondered how you like Gold's Gym.

i like it because it is all shiny and new

and i do not use the personal trainers right now

i want to focus on a ROUTINE (i am a total creature of habit) first...so i am doing the cardio-elliptical.

i am by far not cute at this point, so on a self esteem level---i am out of my league there. though i am not the only "soccer mom" type in the early evenings :paranoid

it is huge

and i have not been brave enough to go near the POOL LOL!

Hi Nurse Teresa,

I do not have a membership to LPF club, but I do live in Huber Heights. Is that where you live? Also my Dr is Dr. Schumacher, isn't that your Dr too? My daughter and I are being banded on Feb 14th. Keep in touch.

Debbie

Hi Debbie! I actually live in Vandalia...work at Good Sam Hospital. No I don't have a dr at this time as I am going to have to be self pay and am trying to save the money. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get there. It gets very discouraging. Congratulations on the date for yourself and your daughter! That is fantastic! Would love to keep in touch with you. I can't believe that someone actually lives so close to me. Off to bed now...just got off of work and have to work again tonight. Have a great day!

Hello Everyone, hope all is well.

MISS Banstar - congrats on starting to run, this is one of my goals, what I would really like to do is compete in a triathalon. That is high on my list and also windsurfing. Never have done either one but I think they both look so neat.

Started going to the gym with DS this week and I can feel it, and it feels sooooo good to beable to exercise and keep up and not have to rest as much.

Well congratulations on the running Miss Banster.....I can't run...even skinny couldnt run...chest is too big and it hurt too bad...lol

Lisann Where are you working out at? Hope that you like the way it makes you feel. It is very addicting. I go as often as I can and on the days I cant go I get my cardio in at work on my lunch break.

Hope everyone is doing great!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
