Excited for the gym!



Recommended Posts

I never thought I would ever say this, but I am excited to join the gym this morning!! I am just over 3 weeks post op and down over 25 pounds just cleared to start using the treadmill. I haven't looked forward to exercise in years.

I am joining with just a monthly membership because I prefer to exercise outside once it thaws (which will probably be May here ;) ). My hubby is joining with me which is fabulous! My weight loss is spurring him to be healthier also. WLS is impacting my entire family in a very positive way!

That is awesome! I remember that feeling very clearly! Are you doing anything specific like couch to 5k? That helped to get me started. Good luck!

Good for you!! I was back in the gym two weeks after surgery on the treadmill and it really felt good I have to say. :)

My whole family belongs to our gym here. I love that my husband and 15yr old daughter are so supportive with my workouts. I know for me I need that. Keeps me motivated. I have even been going to zumba classes our gym offers, the instructor is so fun and nice. Now don't get me wrong I have to modify the moves big time. but I am moving the whole time. This weds though I made it thru the whole class. WOO HOO!!

My surgery has made a difference in my family too. They don't have a weight problem but they are eating healthier and we are exercising more together as a family.

I love that I am not a bystander anymore to my life! And so does my daughter!!!

Go get em!! You got this girl!!!

Today was my 3rd workout and I am really enjoying it! I have dropped 5 pounds in 3 days and I will take that any day. I am also sleeping better at night which hasn't happened in years! I also found out my gym has an aqua massage table and that is definitely going to have to be tried. If I like it I can pay $25/ month for unlimited access to it. The gym lady says I could even use it 3 times a day if I want to and if it isn't booked.

      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! 😞
