Thanks for getting this started Musicalmomma.

Since just banded, I'm still sorting out the shakiness. I pledge to walk at least 4x per week for 30 minutes untill I get to the solid food stage in 4 weeks.

My goal is to walk 45 minutes per day, at least 5 days a week, burning at least 350 to 400 calories on each walk (I wear a heart rate monitor).

My goal is to walk four times weekly at least for 30 minutes each time. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and not be as hot as it has been. If not maybe i will use the threadmill. I like outside better.

I plan on getting back to playing in my Ultimate leagues on Mondays and Tuesdays plus Australian Football practice on Saturdays. During the week, I will do as much as possible on the elliptical and then do about 20 minutes of walking on the treadmill.

I would like to get to the gym at least 20 days in July. I'm typically an elliptical kind of girl, but haven't been to the gym since pre-op, so we'll see how I do!

I need in on this challenge, but I was just banded on 6/25, so I will start slow. My goal will be to walk at least 15 minutes 4 times per week.

I think I'll go for about 45 minutes each gym visit (elliptical or tredmill) x 20 visits = 900. (Is that right? I'm bad at math!)

LOVE the chart! Thanks for doing that!

Musicalmomma, thanks for putting that chart together!

I was feeling so lazy earlier today...I just wanted to lay on the sofa and watch bad TV...but I got off my ass and went for a 30 minute walk outside (in the 90 degree heat of Miami Beach, AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!). It wasn't a LONG walk, but I just took a shower and now I feel great. It's the best feeling when you don't want to work out, but you do anyway.

      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! 😞
