Nothing really different to report.

Yesterday during our warm-ups we did abs.... I did something like 85 crunches of various flavors, plus some yoga & pilaties.

Then I belly danced for 40 minutes or so....

This morning I jogged 5 laps (1 & 1/4 mile) at the track, then I also walked 3 more laps and to and from the track, so that's a total of 2 & 1/2 miles for me. I am going to visit my inlaws in 5 more weeks, so I really want to lose as much as possible before I go. I've made it a goal to exercise every day and not make excuses! We'll see what happens......

Sunday, rode the recombant bike at the gym for 30 minutes, did arm weights for 15 minutes (5 pound dumb bells)

light yoga 20 minutes and belly danced 40 minutes.

Discovered that the yoga positions for the Sun Salutation is not a good idea after getting a fill. Ended up with the dry heaves on Thursday... Not good! So no more Sun Salutations for me!

I went to the gym last night and did 20 minutes on the eliptical trainer and 20 minutes on the treadmill at a pace of 3.5 miles/hr.

Great idea. I was banded Monday (10th) and MADE myself walk some yesterday!! That is outside of the house. I walked for 20 min about 3/4 of a mile, and was sore every step especially where my port is. I figure if I can walk now, I know I can walk as I get healed. My goal is to repeat my effort today.

Went to the gym today and met with a trainer. She was pretty cool, but I know that she can easily kick my butt if I slack off which is just what I need. She had me flexing my abs (really really sucking in my gut but still being able to breathe), and says that's what I need to be doing when doing ab work. I did 30 minutes on the staionary bike plus 2 types of ab work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
