When I started DDP Yoga, I hadn't either. I would say that this isn't traditional yoga, it really is more geared to upping your heart rate and helping with staying in a fat burning zone. The package I got was about 6 disc's and the very first one is an introduction to some common posing that will happen.

The next couple video's are where I spend most of my time, one is 20 minutes and the other I add to it (on occasion) is another 10 minutes.

To me, it seems like he's more there to explain how to make it work for you and not there to tell you how it has to be done. Which, after watching some other video's, was nice.

YouTube probably has some examples and the website is getting better and better. I haven't signed up for the subscription, but it's been lingering in the back of my mind for the recipes and additions workouts.

Pre-surgery, it helped me loose 30 pounds. But then Thanksgiving happened... and then Christmas... and then...

I still think you should go roller skating.

Roller Skating is Great Exercise but as a former Owner of a Rink Please Please Please be the UnCool Kid and wear wrist guards. Adults don't fall as well as kids and their bones are usually more brittle. Wrist and teeth were always the most common injuries, usually at no fault to the Adult but trying to avoid a reckless little one.

Oh absolutely... lol I had a few gnarly falls when I was a kid, there's no way I would trust myself as I learned as an adult I'm accident prone. hahaha

I gotta say dude you look awesome. Keep up the good work.

In regards to blading, even when I was a normal weight and in my teens I was always very hard on my blades. I tore them up rather quickly, but I was the same way to every pair of shoes I owned. Work hard play hard.

Since I now live in a winter city, ice skating is something I can't avoid.

Is there a contra dancing group in your area? They usually welcome newcomers, you definitely do NOT need to bring a partner, and it's great indoor fun.

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
