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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
