I was thinking tonight I would like to start a thread to compare notes with others on the type of exercise they are doing post band. I would really like to know if Im varied enough and what is working for others. For the last 4 weeks I have been going to water aerobics once a week, the gym four times a week and walking the other two days. Has anyone tried yoga? wouldnt mind giving that a go.

Not sill at ALL! Fab! Congrats!!

Thanks Chickie and she smiles. Im way excited and wondering when i can legitimately join your I love to run forum. Think I better learn to run before I run!!!!.

My best friend has done a few triathlons and never have I ever thought I might be able to join her but now Im thinking nothing is impossible. Even though I swim like a rock hee hee.

Awesome work! I too had a bit of a jog on Monday at the gym. A minute jogging at 8.5km/hr then walking for 3min at 6.4km/hr.. about 3 or 4 times. It was tough but I did get up to running for 15mins about 18mths ago when I was a bit lighter than I am now, so hopefully I can work my way up again.

Good on you emma us March 19 people can do anyhting!!

Ok so my victory dance of yesterday has been somewhat halted after I felt a tearing and a great deal of pain in my collarbone area when I was following my weight program today. It stretches into my shoulder and chest. @$#@ it. Im going to go easy and just walk on the weekend and hopefully all will be rosey on Monday. If anyone has a miracle cure please let me know lol.

I did it i did it I did it!!! today I went for a walk and it seemed right to move a bit faster and jog and i did. It was only short bursts but it was running, YAY:thumbup::frown:

Nat congratulations!!!! I know the feeling, I turned the treadmill up ... and instead of trying to walk REALLY FAST .... I started lifting my feet off, it's the Cliff Young shuffle but I'M RUNNING!

In fact when I went in to speak to my surgeon pre-op, he asked my why I wanted to lose weight, I said to him that if he had asked me 10 years ago I would have said skinny, look good, clothes etc etc ... but now?

I want to RUN, I know I can do it, I even see myself running, I can feel it, I just need to get rid of some weight so I don't reak or strain anything ..

would love to do a half marathon or a fun run one day.
