Check craigslist. Sometimes people post weights and stuff for cheap

I think that's great! I'm almost 4 months or and am on week two of couch to 5k. I also have a personal trainer come 3x a week, 30 min twice and an hour on Saturday. I usually walk in addition to the c25k 5 times a week. My surgeon said as long as we're feeling good, we can do what we want.

I think I am just so lost on everything. I know there is no way I can afford the whole personal trainer thing

Try Fitstar app, I have been using it over about 2 weeks and I love it. 2 workout sessions a week is free but if you want more then you have to pay but I like it because it increases in intensity the more you work out. But, I am also one of those people I can motivate myself, I just need the structure.

I can motivate myself too. I just get lost or too overwhelmed. I don't work. And I get exercised induced headaches and migraines. And I think that might be where I get lost with what I can do. I push through with my treadmill.

That is where the app is the trainer. You do a fitness test and workout from there. I say just give it a try. It's free so what can you lose besides weight! Lol

when did you start exercising. I am 6 days out, I know I need to start off slow but wasn't sure how long to wait

I was late. But I have seen 6 weeks at least. But you can start walking when you feel up to it. Just don't over do it.

At 6 weeks out I started taking Tae Kwon Do four days a week. I'm now a green belt and I love it! It's cardio, strength training, and flexibility all in one. Now, I can do the splits, and I've started sparring. The down side is I kicked the target wrong last year and lost a toenail...and it grew back really wonky.

You are doing well.

Be consistent with the exercise and be mindful of the calorie intake and all will be well.

Measure, track, evaluate, adjust activity accordingly.

In short, weigh daily and take appropriate action.

I am barely at 500 calories if I am lucky for my intake. I have lost 41lbs in 3 months. I started at 257lbs. And I am 5'3".

Wow 500 calories? That's not nearly enough at 3 months. I'm surprised your weight hasn't stalled out yet. If it happens, definitely up your calories by 100-200. That's should get things moving again.

I have been trying to. But certain things still make me sick. I have had to restart myself a few times already and getting ready to do it again. Going to talk to my surgeon about it tomorrow. I haven't added too many new foods because of it and I can't eat that much because I get too full. I make sure to eat slow. There are sometimes I eat too fast though

My surgeon did not want us working out before two months. We could walk but nothing intense and I think weights are even longer to reduce the risk of hernia.

It's usually up to the surgeon. But usually it is about 6 weeks. But you still want to build up to it. Obviously you don't want to start out doing anything strenuous, especially after surgery!
