Thank you. I try to get at least 5000+ steps a day. I'm aiming to get to 10000+ soon.

You are doing great already, maybe you are more motivated than you think you are

Thank you! Sometimes I just feel like I'm not doing enough. Or that the weight should be coming off faster [emoji1745]

I've just discovered a young man on Facebook who does free, live workouts daily. Or you can catch the replay on YouTube. I do the workout for seniors because it's doable for me right now. Check it out: TheGuruofAbs. Fun, easy, just moving more than I have been.

I found some beginners low impact cardio on YouTube, all standing up. I try to do most mornings for 30 minutes indoors. I started doing some exercises I found for bat wing, tricep strengthening using resistance bands and 3 pound barbells.

Stats: 5'1", age 67, female. Highest weight: 245. BMI 41. Surgery Date: May 28, 2020. Weight at surgery: 211.

I’m taking private Zoom Pilates classes 2x a week. The expense and having someone waiting for me is a strong incentive.

I take my dogs for daily run/walks. We’ve been going for shorter one because I don’t want them to get heat stroke, but at least we get out daily.

That’s what motivates me. Set appointment times really help me.

Early morning is key for me. If I wait it’s not going to happen. So now that COVID is here - I walk in the am with my husband. Started at 30 mins but now we do between that an an hour. We also just bought a rower-but that is going to take some time before I get going longer than 15 mins. They’re hard!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
