On M/W/F I'm following couch to 5k, currently in week two. Plus lifting Arms, that’s all I'm cleared for until week 6. I can't wait until I can start lifting again, getting tired of the why are you playing with that 10 lb dumbbell looks at the gym.

On off days I do 1 hour cardio split between treadmill, Precor cross trainer and the elliptical. My trainer told me "not sure what calcs he used" that to lose 1 lb a week I would have to eat 3500 calories a day. I'm currently running 2000 - 2500 a day calorie deficit "again according to voodoo calculations I have not seen" I'll keep it up until the weight stops dropping off or recovery times get longer.

I dug out all my various exercise dvd's and I popped in Leslie Sansone's Miracle Mile. I was a little disappointed that I could only complete 3/4 of a mile but hey ~ it's a start and I'll be doing much more than that soon enough.

I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes. My 7 year old son and I went for a 30 minute bike ride again. We did some hills today. Son came home and took a 3 hour nap. When my husband asked our son, "Did Mommy kick your butt on the bike?,", he replied "No I kicked Mommy's" :thumbup:

I called and set up my first appointment to visit Curves tomorrow. There is one very close to my house and if I like it, I'll start taking my workout clothes with me and swinging by for a workout on my way home from work.

I went to Curves, I did one round learning all the machines and then did one round on my own.

I'll go back a couple more times next week and see how I like it.

I decided to go check out the YMCA, they have much more to offer than curves and when my hubby gets back he'll get a free membership and I'll get a discount off my monthly fee everytime he goes so I went ahead and joined.

I walked/jogged 20 min yesterday. Today I just did a fitness assessment with a trainer. There is a program called "Commit to be fit" and you get 5 free training sessions with a fitness assessment. I had to go and get a release from my Dr to participate because of high blood pressure.

I am pretty out of shape but not quite as bad as I expected. I did 18 situps in 1 minute, 9 bench presses with a 35lb bar and my flexibility reach was better than the skinny little thing helping me. I could reach 11.5" on their measuring box and she could only go 7". I didn't do the step test since my pulse was already a little high from rushing to get there after work. She took my blood pressure and it was extremely low for me, after I got a lecture on Tues from my Dr for not taking my second HBP med cuz it was a bit high on Tues. I don't know if I trust her monitor. I'll have to dig mine out and if it's low still, maybe I only need 1/2 a pill. I plan on checking out the Pilates class next week, I've never done it.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
