RJ, would you mind giving an idea of what the trainer has you do everyday. I am working with a variety seniors - level strength training and body movement, but I am sure some of us achy old timers would like to know what he has you do, so maybe we could follow along?

Well he is designing a program for me..So once he does I'll let you know some of the ins and outs....I think I am in for a lot of ouch!!!!!lol

This is so great, and I am so proud of you!

Some years ago, I weighted 230-250 lbs but got physically fit, incl. a physical trainer, and it was a wonderful experience.

I think that your having found a trainer who understands how your critical illness is super-smart.

Maybe the most exciting part is to imagine how this will make you stronger and your body more able to knock the poop out of lingering illness. Way to go. I look forward to frequent updates, tips, etc.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      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! 😞
