I am almost 2 weeks post op. I am just curious... does anyone know what the "normal" expected weight loss is after surgery?

Looking good Vamp!

Thank you!

Omg0sh! That doesn't even look like you! I'm so happy for you girl!

I told you it doesn't look like me! thanks!

Hi Vamp! Would you mind sharing some info with me? What gym do you go to and do you have a personal trainer? I've been reluctant to join a gym. I'm fat, lazy, and sweat like a pig. I wouldn't be one of the "beautiful people" there. I know I need to exercise. I haven't done any at all since surgery on May 1. My arms and thighs are hideous so I'm going to have to do something. I hate to admit it but I have a beautiful treadmill and my own in ground pool. I guess I'm just too lazy to live.

Don't be so hard on yourself kmiller! You just need a bit of self motivation. Who cares what people think at the gym. Do it for yourself, you will see that in no time you will begin to see a more sexier you!

Wow!!!! Amazing change just to feel cheekbones is glorious!!!

Kmiller ! You are very beautiful! That is those ugly negative thoughts that are creeping in! I have hired a personal trainer to come to my house after 6 weeks..my surgery was May 30th and I want to be sure my pouch is healed before I start stretching those muscles. I decided to hire the trainer as I wanted to get the most out of my surgery as possible. We have a gym we can use at my work but I need someone to push me in the strength training dept. I am getting out walking every day - I set times of the day for me to go then I just go. My suggestion is to find something that you like doing then it will be more enjoyable. I found that out two years ago that cycling was my fav! I got addicted very fast! And even started a biking group that met after work once a week. The gym can be very intimidating but I have found that most of the people that go are there for the same reason as me...to get healthy. Best of luck and don't let those nasty thoughts keep you from accomplishing your goals!

Thank you! I would love to find a trainer who would come to the house.

I go to American family fitness! I don't have a personal trainer but I enrolled in something called amfam u it's an 8 week training course then you graduate and get a certificate saying you graduated its pretty neat! I lift weights 3 days a week and do cardio the 2 days I don't! I have the attitude that I don't care what people think of me so I just go and say the hell with those beautiful people! You can do it!!
