Nope. She's a higher belt than me and she hit me first. She should have had more control so it was clearly intentional. I just gave it back. Worse.

Sounds like you should be a higher belt than her! I'm a little jealous - there aren't many situations where it's acceptable to actually hit the person you don't like!

; thinking that maybe doing both challenges in one month wasn't the best idea - the legs are purty sore!!

You might be surprised in the next couple of weeks how your body responds. I say stick with both.

Hi Chelenka. Funny you mention the Cardiologist. I was just in his office today and he gave me clearance. The EKG and Stress Test were fine. My main issue is body aches and muscle spasms post exercise. Anyone with something similar? VSG Pre Op

Lynette: make sure you are drinking enough Water pre, during, and post-workout, and stretch out pre and post workout. Also, getting in your Calcium and magnesium helps with avoiding cramping. I use a topical pain reliever called Sombra on sore muscles and knees, back, wherever, that you can buy on Amazon. A lot less stinky than Ben Gay. Also an Epsom salts bath helps or if that's not an option for you I understand there is an Epsom salts cream that you can get at Walmart. I haven't tried that yet but my massage therapist likes it.

1.1 miles yesterday, for a total of 2.4. A lot slower than most folks on here, but I'm movin'! Trying out the bike this weekend, so hopefully I can put on some miles that way.

Also up to 200 squats for my Squatober challenge; thinking that maybe doing both challenges in one month wasn't the best idea - the legs are purty sore!!

The bike will definitely help you get the mileage in and it's good to change up your exercise routine. I do the stationary bike at home and every five minutes I increase the resistance and I lift my butt off the seat for one-minute intervals. I'm not a runner so it would be very hard for me to get in the 125 miles (my personal goal) this month! What is the squatober challenge? I'm intrigued..is it 200 squats/day? I need to do something like that!

Well this is my first day back at the gym in about one and and a half years! I must say I surprised myself I did a 1 mile fast walk and 3.26 miles on the bike for a total of 4.26 miles. Feeling frisky ; 0)

My husband is asking the same thing. He said his stomach was sore from jostling around. Unfortunately my boobs aren't big enough to bother me. I'm almost but not quite sad about that!

      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! 😞

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
