About 3 weeks ago, I really started walking more and a lot farther. I kinda like walking for the most part. There are some days I would rather just run and climb in my bed after my night shift but it seems to be working. I haven't seen a lot of movement on the scale but my clothes are fitting better and I feel a little fitter. Just wondering what you guys are doing to get moving.

Best Wishes

Biking. Road bike or mountain bike. Either is fine. I put on about 75 miles a week.

I started a run/walk program that I found online. There are lots to choose from. I chose one from Runners World magazine and it's very do-able. I have NEVER been fond of running, but I get such a great sense of satisfaction now that I can actually complete the "assigned run" each day. Maybe that would spice things up for you? I also write all my workouts down in my day planner. I treat them like an appointment and really try to keep on schedule.

I like the elliptical and the ARC trainer. ...... Great calorie burn, and easy on the joints. I've worked up from 10 minutes a day to an hour and ten minutes a day!

I walk through the hills where I live; about 30-45 minutes, 4-5 days a week. It's working quite well, and I notice a big difference when I start slacking off. Thanks to my border collie, slacking off is rarely an option :P

I joined the Y just before I was banded, and started walking 1-2 a week. Walking turned into gentle running 2-3 x a week. Now ive had Plantar Facitis ( heel injury) since spring, so no walking /running allowed till January. I cant wait until I can start again, I sure miss running !

Walking is the only thing I do and I need to do way more of it. I can be very lazy. I have a walking partner once a week and we walk about five miles in one evening.

      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.

      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! 🤣
