Y'all are gonna tire of me talking about the gym! Lol. Had an amazing workout. Did a little cardio, then did some weights. I almost did a full body today. So happy about that. It was just me and a bunch of young guys that could be my kids (if I had them young). Ha! Enjoyed my hour and 15 mins alone jamming to a mix of reggae, rock, and hip hop. Felt so good, I rolled the windows down in the truck and jammed out on the way home.

Btw, my truck feels bigger now. I can only imagine it being moreso months out from now. Lol

Not tired at all. Your enthusiasm is inspirational. This is what we need to be doing "enjoying the experience of exercise ".

Hi girls! So i read our responses and what a coincidence I actually started to puree a little tuna with ricotta to make it smooth and it tastes soo good.. i only do yogurt like once a day and i only do half a yogurt. Another things I started to mar was guacamole, i'm not going to have it everyday but it's so good. I only go avocado, cilantro, onions, lime and salt. All pureed of course. In one day I dropped a pound and half. I lose weight everyday so far now.

That is great hear @mishyk. I love guacamole and have been eating it also.

I am allowed any meat as long as it is chewed to a pureed consistency so I tried steak fajitas yesterday. My stomach handled it fine. I think my sleeve just likes whatever because each new food I have tried has been fine. The only taste that has changed is with scrambles eggs. They taste funny to me now.

So happy your weight is moving down. It is carzy how we can loose a pound and a half in a day!!! That happened to me too.

I have a question, tomorrow we have completed 4 weeks post op. But Thursday is the 15th of the month. Are y'all going based on weeks for the one month post op date or the actually day for it? I'm leaning towards the 15th of every month. It'll be easier for me to track.

Thank you. I am trying to come out of the closet so to speak. That is me about 10 years ago before I started gaining weight. This is how I see myself and where I want to be at goal.

I can't wait to see your pics!!

I agree and even though tomorrow is 4 weeks I am counting the 15th of every month.

I am going to count the 15th of the month also. Much easier! I can't believe we are a month out ladies!!! We have made it through the surgery and recovery and are on our way to healthy long lives!

Almost a week ago I started weights again. I walk on the treadmill or ride the stationary bike for about 30-45 mins, then I do weights. I've been doing biceps, triceps, chest, and back. This past Sat I added legs. If you're not familiar with what weights to do, form, how much, etc....I'd encourage you to get a trainer if possible. If not possible, look up youtube videos on how to do them properly. It's very easy to get injured not doing so. I aim to do weights 3x a week.

I'll be adding pool time (with my girls probably in a couple of weeks), I want to make sure my incision sites are COMPLETELY healed, even though I was cleared.

I also do JUST DANCE with my girls. Lots of fun!!!

@mishyk I have been using my elliptical several days a week and walking. I am

not a gym person so no weights yet. I may add them in a little further out to help tone my muscles. I think the exercise is definitely helping and I am beginning to miss it on the days I can't fit it in.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
