Recommended Posts

Okay so it turns out on top of the bronchitis..I have carpel tunnel in my right arm and also tendonitis in my ankle.

Sooo I have to get a wrist brace thingy..oh joy..and i have to wrap my ankle and get better every day shoes. Apparently my foot wraps a bit when i walk. Also I can do spin class but no step aerobics..no basketball..no tennis. Nothing that is turning or hard on the foot. Just glad I can keep exercising.

But yeah guys nothing is worse then being injured and not being able to work out so watch yourselfs and be careful. Mother has spoken..LOLLL

Glad everyone is doing great. JM I know your frustrations. You gotta really look at your nutrition. I swear if you just eat whole foods your going to be fine. Gotta really look at what your eating. I know thats what it is. Most personal trainers will tell you they would rather see you eat healthy then work out at all. Processed foods are the devil I tell you..lol

Feel better Di! I too have something wrong with my left quadricep. I think I may have pulled or strained it from spin class the other night. It totally sucks, I was going to go to the gym last night, but I couldn't even walk straight!

The funny thing is, I totally cleaned up my eating this week. Got rid of coffee and most dairy, and added a whole lot of fruits and veggies. I've eaten more fruits and veggies this week than I have in 3 months time! Its weird, but I'm not gonna let it bother me too much because I know I lost some weight this month. Going to the docs today so I'll get the official lost lbs from her today!

Reporting in.... 30 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes rowing machine, 1 hour pilates class. I'm feeling good. Can't believe I like to exercise. Who knew it would be like this?!

I went to a spin class last night and tonight is my fave step class of the week! Tomorrow is spin class at 5:30am and then I do a step class at 9am. I am trying to get exercise in this week bc next week I have to go to Europe for work and it is soo hard to exercise when traveling (jet lag, 12 hr plane rides, etc).

scales - I do weight daily, but only take my weight seriously on Wednesdays when I record it on my calendar, () I seem to weight less on Weds for some reason!) and now Sundays since thats what we record on our cute lil spread sheet.

I'm not going to make it to the gym tonight... so I walked down, then up 8 flights of stairs today at the hospital 3x. I'm slow, and exhausted, so it took me about 30 minutes total. That should count for cardio and resistance I think! Ha! Going up 8 flights is NOT easy! My thighs were bitching at me the whole time!

Okay, worked shoulders today for an hour and a half. Wasn't into it, which has never happened before. Weird...didn't like the feeling...wonder what's up with me? I hope it's just a 24-hour bug! LOL Seriously, it's not funny. I'm so exhausted...maybe that's it.

      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. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
