I haven't had my surgery yet, but I'm scheduled for March 30th and I have a list of fitness goals I want to accomplish after my surgery. Has anyone developed a love of fitness after having their surgery. I'm curious to know how has your lifestyle changed and has fitness become a major part of that lifestyle. My first goal is to train for a half marathon.

You'll get there without even knowing it. I started off walking after surgery just like 3 miles a day then over a month or two I increased to walking 5 miles to running 2 of the 5 miles now I've joined a gym and work with a trainer with weight training and I love it, I love the way my lifestyle has changed for the better.

My first goal now is to train and be in shape enough to run the Tough Mudder with my son this year....so far it looks like it might happen, even though these runs seem pretty INSANE!!

My first goal was to complete the couch to 5 K training. My last session is today!!! I can't even believe it. When I first started, I could barely run the 60 second intervals. Tonight I will be running for 30 minutes straight. My first actual race is March 8.

I am also signing up for the Disney Princess Half next February. I can't wait to start training for it!

I was lucky in that along with my love of food, I always had a love of fitness as well. At my heaviest, I had a hard time being active. My feet would swell up and I just didn't have the energy. At where I am now, which is roughly 107 pounds less than my highest, I am comfortable with all forms of fitness. For the most part I can go into any class and keep up with the others, which was my goal. I wanted to be able to walk into any new gym and be able to complete the exercises in any class. I can do that now, and while I'm not the fastest or the strongest, I am generally happy to be participating in fitness related activities.

I'm glad to know that fitness has been incorporated into the new lifestyle. I think it is just as important as the nutrition. I have done zumba for the last 2 years, but it hasn't been consistent. I LOVE doing to zumba but I want to also be active with my family. Running, mountain biking and racquetball are some of the activities I'm looking forward to.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
