I am in, but can't officially start for a week or so. We are leaving for vacation tomorrow morning. My only chance for structured exercise would be in the hotel, but I will be walking the theme parks nearly every day, doesn't that count :confused_smile:

I did about 10 hours of straight walking this weekend but now I'm sick with sinus infection and coughing so I doubt I'll do any exercise tonight :-( I need to rest for sure.. But hope to be back on my regime tomorrow night. I'm going to challenge myself to work out for 1.5 hours each day starting on tuesday and not counting the weekend since I do the rennaissance faire thing and I'll be on my feet walking every day for three days (memorial day is final day for Scarborough faire!) so I always get plenty of exercise with that. lol. I need to challenge myself to work more with arm weights. I focus so much on belly and butt... :confused_smile:

Tuesday I did 45 minutes of cardio....

I am going today to do weights again and I will have surpassed my goal this week. It will also be the first week that I have worked at three times! Go me.

Woot Ready! You're inspiring. I really want to start doing more though right now I'm trying to clean up some major asthma/allergy junk so I can breathe. Hopefully I'll be able to join the next challenge.

Woo Hoo! I'm ready for the next excercise challenge. We just got a used treadmill this morning. Looks like it's in decent shape too. Now I just have to get my butt on it regularly.

I'm in this time too. Going for 2 hours. You're an inspiration to me Ready. And thank you, I needed an added reason to stay on track this week. Fill isn't until 6-10 and I feel the need.

aaaa. Waiting for a fill is the freaking worse. I want to just show up at the Dr.'s and tell them...yeah. I'm not leaving to ya fill me up, buddy. I got all day. I will bring a protest sign that says

Hungry. Need Fill.

and sit there stonily holding it.

You think that will work?

I'm going slow so far this week. I still need 53 mins to finish up my 2 hours. Should be able to do it this weekend though. How are you doing Ready?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
