Question: I am graduating with my masters in december and for graduation my parents are going to get me some exercise equipment since there isn't a gym with childcare around my house. I have an elliptical but I need something else that I can work out on. I was thinking a bike... Also any suggestions for weight lifting? I'm only a little over 4 weeks out so I can't do anything right now and I am not strong to start off with. I want to focus on my arms and abs.

Congratz on earning your masters!!!!! Way to go!!!

Exercise equipment...Hmmm...that's a good question. I guess it depends on what you think you would enjoy working out on. I really don't like working out at home...guess cuz I've been a stay at home mom for so long that I NEED to get out LOL! But...I LOVE riding my bike, so you may enjoy a stationary bike. I don't know how many children you have or how old, but if you only have one or two and their small, you COULD get a comfort bike (I have a raliegh and love it) and a kiddie trailer. Kids LOVE IT! Would they spring for a Bow Flex? That would REALLY work your arms and abs!! Just some thoughts.

Well, I changed my goal...I've been afraid to change if for fear of not reaching it, but afraid NOT to change it for fear of giving myself an "out" on exercise once I reach my goal. Funny how my mind works! But, I've changed it and will do my best to reach it!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
