Hello Fellow Victorious Valentines!!!!

Since we are recently banded I just wanted to do an exercise challenge to get our journey going.

It is a walking challenge. (since that's all we can do for now)

This is an individual challenge.....

If you dare....committ yourself....to exercise certain # of minutes per day.

Hope you dare to join me!

Patty made a great suggestion....

To make each of us accountable to reach our goals...we should post everyday...

Even if you did not accomplish or do your exercise we should still post it..

Accountability is what it is all about.

I think a buddy list would be good for us since we are starting at the same time. We can talk about things we are going through.

I'm lucky. My doc gave me full clearance for all exercise except for VERY heavy lifting. I started back at my strength training class and did a good jog/walk. Now I just have to do it at least 4 times a week!! So, I'm all in!!

Hi guys, I am two weeks out (on Tuesday). I have a Dr's appt Monday and hope he will give me clearance to start exercising. We were told not to do anything other than very light not exercise type walking after surgery. I will join in as soon as I know what I can do. I'm hoping for at least 15 minutes so that is what I will put for now.

Also, I just read somewhere that if you walk, then once a week, you should try to do a powerwalk so that your body doesn't get used to the same thing. I can't wait until it warms up. I hate walking in the snow!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
