I'm so glad to hear you like T-Tapp. I bought the DVD a while ago but haven't put it in yet. Guess I'll switch to that as soon as I get sick of the one I'm using now. It's starting to get a bit old.

Ezma,

Ooh, I wouldn't wait. I'd do it starting tomorrow! It's done wonderful things for my body.

It is a little complicated with all the different workouts, but I'll tell you how I started off and it worked out great. (I had help knowing what to do from a family member who is a certified T-tapp trainer.) She suggested doing a 14 day bootcamp to start. So do the workout every day for 14 days. (I take Sunday off, so I just did it until I had done 14 days total.) Start with the instructional tapes. Do #1 first for a couple days, then move to #2. You don't have to do them both on the same day, you can just do one or the other. When you're ready, move to the Total Workout. It will take about 50 minutes, while the others are 20 or 25 minutes. The instructionals are very effective, so don't switch from them until you are really understanding the form on each move and feeling strong. Once you're done with your 14 day bootcamp, take a couple of days off and then alternate every other day the Basic Workout Plus and the Total Workout. If you have any questions, feel free to email me, and I can as my relative for you if I don't know the answer.

I just love T-tapp. It doesn't kill me and I really feel stronger and taller after I'm done doing it. It's not your typical workout, there's no music and it's not perfect in it's production quality, but it is a wonderful system and very effective.

I do have to warn you that I think I had significant muscle gain from this workout and so you have to take that into consideration with your weight numbers. Do start with your measurements and compare those instead of the scale. I lost 1.5 inches off my hips in two weeks while not losing any pounds. That was a testimonial to me. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
