I tried to post this before but I guess the Bariatric Gods did like it

IM 64 days out and i am loving it. I know the first time my Doctor told me I have to walk 10000 steps a day I want to cuss him out a hundred fold. In my mind i was thinking what the f**k are you talking about im not about to run a Marathon what is this foolishness you speak of. It was another one of those moments when I was about to throw in the towel. But i got over it told myself I dont have to do 10000 a day I can do 2000 maybe 3500 but then i had my surgery and I started to lose and lose and lose and this energy made me get up and walk I noticed that when i walk I can poop easier and the weight comes off even faster and now i find myself determined to to hit 10000 everyday I must say that the Fitbit has been a great tool for me but i think it you have a step counter it will inspire you. I found good step counters on Wish.com for cheap.

if your a Fitbit owner and want to have some motivation add me to you fitbit friends list Madmanpbsgc@gmail.com

I'm a big fitbit fan too - I usually can hit 10,000 steps daily, just from work, but it's the days off that I have to push myself to get out of the house and walk as much as I can. I hope the fact that I'm walking so much now will help me out when I am post-op.

I need to charge my Fitbit. Then maybe we can do challenges to inspire each other.

I literally had to LOL at your inside voice over your doctor's advice. Same here. It's amazing how much more energy you have after you drop a few pounds though. I have a Jawbone and I love it so much. Definitely keeps me motivated. For the first time ever, I hit 15,000 steps the other day. I hate the gym, so I've started walking to take care of my errands. Need to pick up prescriptions.... walk. Need a couple of items from the grocery store.... walk. My car is sitting a lot more than it used to, but I'm feeling good and strong. Good on you for making it happen!!!

Start slow if it's just walking around the house walking to the mailbox or to the store. But to answer your question the day after surgery get up and walk if you don't you can develop blood clots and that can really fu:ck you up. So from pre op to post op get ya as:s up and walk

When you get tired rest once your rested get up and walk. Find reasons to walk what I did my grocery store is about a quarter mile away so when it was time to eat I walk to the store and back but I kept my cell on me and charged in case I had to call someone to come get me.

      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?

      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
