Hello everyone! I am almost at my 3 month mark post surgery! It has been the best decision I ever made! I think it would be nice to have someone be on the journey with me and have a support system! Though I have been doing the diet even afterwards, temptation is still all around us! I had my surgery on November 14th! I still get weak even when I'm strong! I am from Pittsburgh pa and I have a 5 year old daughter who is a big inspiration and ho early by biggest supporter:) if you feel we would be good support for each other then let's do this lol

Hello!! I was sleeved 10/26/2016 and always looking for or to be support! I have two daughters 12 and 9.

That's awesome how did your surgery go?

It went great! No complications except for trapped gas for a couple of days. It's been the best decision of my life. I feel like a different person. I love to be on the go. I have less fear about social situations. I'm more daring which I haven't yet decided if that is a pro or con.

I walk about 5-7 miles per day, but I am looking to step up the activity in a different direction in a major way. What type of exercise do you prefer?

That's amazing! I also had trapped gas for a couple days. I go to the gym 5 days a week! I do 2 days of a 30 minute circuit class and the other three I take one day for legs one for arms and one for abs. I go through planet fitness and started with a trainer class 2 days which is the circuit class! What about you ?

Just walking right now. I work full time and have a 2 hour commute both ways, so I just try to fit in as much walking as I can while I'm at work.

Walking is really good for you I walk about 30 mins before I start my workout! You could also look up at home workouts to tone up I have done some of those!

Yeah. I really need to do something else. I have lots of "reasons" why I don't...lol

You have to start thinking of the reasons on why you started why your doing this stay positives I have my days were I'm like no im to busy or this will be okay but then I regret it like I said stay positive!

It is hard I didn't want to take everything away from my 5 year old but she will choose healthy food over bad but I do let her get some things and it has gotten easier for me to not want it

Motivation is what got you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
