@@MayMarie lol, leg day and chill? That's about all I am good for after leg day! Outstanding results, congrats on your success and best wishes for continuing.

I know you said you are working with a trainer, but what kind of a routine have you in place? Push/pull split? Muscle grouping? Starting Strength only? Circuit? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thank you!! To be completely honest I have no idea what all that means! I show up twice a week and do what she tells me to do! Lol. I think it's just strength training, though.

Probably muscle grouping also

A push pull split would be Chest/Shoulders/Triceps one day, then Legs & Core, and finally Bicep/Forearm/Back. I tried this routine for 2 months and it just didn't work for me. I was exhausted mid-way through and never felt as though I did a good job as a whole.

Muscle Grouping would be Legs, Chest, Shoulders & Back, then Bicep/Tricep/Forearm on seperate days. I did this routine with excellent results for a long time. The idea is to saturate the groups with blood so that during recovery they would reap the most benefits.

Starting Strength is Squats, Presses, and Deadlift. Thats it. 3 days a week. Guaranteed strength increases, but I am finding it boring. But I personally need to make some strength increase so this is what I am doing.

Circuit training is doing everything; legs, back, core, chest, arms, and shoulders with light weights. A big misnomer for this is "toning". I personally call it "wasting time". Yes, you will burn calories but you will not be getting stronger. Also, you spread your recovery across all muscle groups. With our reduced intake, this one makes no sense.

Whatever you are doing though, it looks like it is working. Good luck with the continued workouts and hopefully no injuries!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
