I really need the guidance in the workout dept...mostly weight training so I wanted to know if it would help. I will let you know. I am going to join for the 5 weeks and see how what its about.

I got my first work out and its for a home workout. I was more looking for the gym machines. It looks really good and from what everyone says it will kick your butt. She does a circuit training and which is strength training and cardio all in one. Then you have one day of cardio and two days of rest. I am not sure ....I love doing the machines at the gym. Trying to talk dh into a bowflex so that I can use it and walk for cardio.

After reading this, I signed up for it since I've been looking for a change up in my routine. I did the first workout today. It was tough! You pick if you want Level 1 or Level 2 programs. I answered the questions and am a Level 2 because I work out 4-6 days a week now. She has it set up where you do five circuits. Each circuit has 3 exercises. For example, today one circuit was 3 sets of 15 bent over rows; 3 sets of 15 crossover lunges; 1 min of jump roping. You do some weights and then some body resistance and then some harder cardio to keep your heart rate up. I thought it was a good workout, I liked the circuits, and the way they are combined, lots of muscles are used and fatigued in the workout. You do 4 days like this (split) and then one day of just cardio with two rest days split in the week. You choose the days. Mine are Sun and Wed. The other thing is that you can cancel the membership after 5 weeks, so the worst is that you are out $20 AND have your 20 workouts you could rotate! I am definitely trying it for 5 weeks!

I agree, I am going to go to the website and check it out. I am getting kind of board with just doing my treadmill.

I went to her site, and it is appealing - however I know it wont' work for me. I signed up for EDiets a year before getting banded, and it just wasnt' something that motivated me. I need a trainer that I see each wk and be accoutable to - otherwise, it's just another email I might ignore.

I really like Jillian **would love for her to be in TX ...LOL** - I'll be interested in seeing results from anyone who signs up...all the best!

I love Jillian - I could really use someone like her to kick my butt. I had someone at the gym who was just too sweet. I really need someone to motivate me to keep going. Have you seen how she stands on their legs while they are squatting against the wall. Holy Cow! that looks like it really hurts. I didn't get to watch it tonight - but I've recorded it - I hope to watch it tomorrow night! I love this show - I've learned so much about the workouts just from Bob and of course Jillian.

TTFN (Ta Ta for now!)

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
