I usually work out during my lunch hour. I work at a fire station so we have a fitness room, no excuses. I do about 20 minutes of treadmill and jog for a minutes here and there. Then I do light weights many repetitions for a good 30mins 4-5 days a week. I also do 2-3 of kickboxing a week for 50 mins. The scale has not moved for a few months and its dissapointing because I won't be meeting my goal of 100 by march :( Anyways, my body is shaping up and my clothes fit alot lose. I look horrible in my current clothes and new new ones asap. But basically i was told that I was building muscle and losing fat with NSV. People say numbers don't matter but they sure do to me lol!. Havent' been on this site for a while. It is very encouraging to read your profile and see how well you have done with the lab band. Lately I been reading alot of negative outcomes in a different site and I been feeling a bit depressing over it and I am already thinking of what I should do if something goes wrong with my band. So far everything has been going very well and I have been on the green zone for a good 2 months. Have a nice day all!

Hung a small TV in my room with the wall mount. That about wiped me out! On Monday I get to start using full liquids, I hope that gives me more energy. This clear liquid stage of the diet really sucks.

Just catching up on this thread -- so inspiring, the running, C25k, etc. But it's the biking that is settling into my consciousness. I am visualizing getting a new bike this spring -- one I can get up on to the top of the car on my own. And then to drive to the bike paths scattered throughout the area. I really want to do that. Today made a date for a walk around the lake with a friend who knows how to go at a good clip. There's a dog we can barely keep up with to keep us speeding along and we talk a lot so it's a good breathless walk. Grateful for warm enough temps to be outdoors this weekend. Thanks for the perking up this morning -- these bander threads really help me with the get up and go.

Bandista,

As a suggestion

There are carriers that will attach to the back of cars via a hitch method or "on the trunk" style. Maybe one of these would be easier than putting it on top...Happy riding!

After only two weeks (one week post op) I'm back at a weight where I can get back into my kayak! By the time the weather (water) warms up, i will be back paddling in the alligator infested waters again. A return to the excitement of my little boat.

In the mean time, I am trying to walk several times a day. Monday I go back to work. Lots more movement.

Happy Sunday Funday

Last year I was playing the Super bowl the drinking game. This year I will be playing Super Bowl the exercise game. Here are the rules of the game for every touchdown it 10 jumping jacks. For every sack it is one push up. Every time out or reviewing I will run in place. If the Broncos win I will have a rest day because I know they got this. Feel free to join me.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
