I finally made the thread for those of us who are scheduled for May 15th. It'll be fun to hear how all of us are doing during our journeys. Feel free to share!

There are many of us on pre-ops now and some have a few days. Just about a week left!!! How awesome and exciting it is! ?

Dont forget to FOLLOW the thread!

It’s been a little while and the thread has slowed down a bit, but like Apple posted she wanted to share here, I always want to share here too in regards to where I am now. I’ve adopted the wfpb diet as well and I’m happy and full of energy too. But my energy can’t be expensed the way I want it to in the form of exercise these days. I’m a little frustrated, cause I love to workout, but once again, I missed my step a couple of days ago and hurt my ankle. I’m a bit clumsy I guess. I can still walk though, but not intentional. I tried it after work today and had to stop about 8 mins in to my workout. Sigh. I decided, to not do cardio and go for the weights. As soon as I pulled back for arm rows, my shoulder started aching. Not the kind you push through either. So, I HAD to listen to my body and I left after 15 mins of being at the gym. Shortest time ever. All this to say, I’m going to have to pay attention to my wfpb lifestyle now, since I can’t really get exercise in regularly. I think if I add fruits in, I could do much better. Oh, and most importantly, I HAVE only focus on water intake. I’m terrible at it!!!! Going to set alarms if I have to.

Hope all you are well. I would love to hear from you all as well.

As long as your diet is on point you will still lose. I know how much you love your gym time so I am sorry these injuries keep cropping up for you. Weight loss is 80% diet so you can just keep on keeping on. You got this

Watching the Voice tonight and it is full of surprises...lol...

Hello,

I started running about 3 weeks ago, and my legs were in so much pain for days. Therefore, I had to give my body a break. For situations like some pain or bad weather that does not allow me to get to the gym, I bought a spin bike online that was less than $125.00 easy to assemble. Now, for some excercise, I try to ride the bike for at least 10-15 minutes. This might be a good investment.

Congrats on your weight loss!

Yes, I’ve allowed a few things in that I need to scale back on. So, I’ll be focusing on my meals to be totally wfpb and allow those few things (harvest crisps) on occasion. I’m going to incorporate more fruits though, been trying to get my mind wrapped around eating them...I’d rather eat a kale salad but I know those fruits are just important.

I am the same way with fruit. I like it well enough I just like my veggies more so I never have room for it.
