Week 6-- Only 6 More Pounds To Onederland

So yesterday was my 6 week post op... here are my stats

 

5'7''

HW: 265

GW: 250

DoS: 238.1

CW: 206.8

total loss: 31.3 lbs

 

I am sooooo excited right now. I am so pleased with my results so far I could just scream! I have to be thankful that I havent really hit any kind of real stall, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that im at the gym every day. I am down 2 more pant sizes and I am really happy that I saved all of my old clothes cuz i seriously wouldnt have had anything to wear. lol.

 

I have to admit even tho im seriously happy, I need to get back on track with taking my vitamins, and eatting on a more regular schedule. Issues is the vitamins are kinda gross even tho ive tried a few different ones, and the im just not hungry most of the time. But I will do better, because i don't want to fall in any type of deficiency.

 

So a lot of people have been asking me what kind of regemin i do for work out so here is my schedule.

 

monday- zumba

tuesday- kick boxing and circuit training

wednesday- free day

thursday- arms and shoulders, 5k run

friday- kick boxing and circuit training

saturday- legs,back and glutes, 5k run

 

I know it looks like a lot and it is for only being 6 weeks out, but i make sure to listen to my body.. and i cant wait to go see my doc in 3 days... I want to get released to do full workouts so i can start doing ABS!!! i want my tummy flat, and ROCK HARD.

 

Its funny cuz before the surgery I always like to do some type of activity, but a lot of the time the motivation wouldn't really be there.. and now i have the motivation for like 5 people, mainly because i really don't want the lose skin, but also because i didn't just get this surgery to lose weight while i sat on my ass. I wanted to be able to get back into sports and not be in so much pain all the time. THIS SURGERY IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPEND TO ME AND IM GOING TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF IT WHILE I CAN!

Wow this motivated me! My heaviest weight was 265, goal weight 150, I'm 5'8" and I'm doing the couch to 5K program. So many similarities. However, I am 4 weeks post op and I didn't lose any weight before surgery, so I'm still at 241. I feel I'm a little stalled, but I have not been in the gym every day. I'm still trying hard to find time to work out with a full time+ job and three kids. Sigh. Any advice? And thank you for posting this. I'm 10x more motivated than 10 minutes ago!

Hey jab, im glad i could give you a little motivation.. i like to think im a little bit lucky cuz i work at night so i have all day to get my workout in and it sounds like you have a lot of responsibilities. so anything you do is still better than nothing.

My suggestion is to start out slow, maybe 30 min of walking after dinner or once the kids are down to sleep.. even if that means walking around your house. even the slightest thing that you can do dance while you are cooking, etc. just get your body moving... it is the only thing that has helped me from stalling. compared to a lot of people you and I have lower BMI's to start with so we have to work for each lb lost.

If you need a motivational buddy id be happy to message you every day and just say.. HEY what did you do today?

maybe this will help. here is a work out schedule for you to try,

monday-rest

tuesday- cardio 30min

wednesday- 3 sets of 15 wall push ups. (just lean against a

while and do pushups)

thursday- rest

friday- cardio 30min

saturday- 3 sets wall squats(back against the wall squat and

hold position for 20 sec)

sunday- rest

try this schedule with your couch to 5k. and see if it helps..

make sure that you are getting protein after you work out, it will help to rebuild your muscles.

*just think of it this way, when you work out your body burns fat up to 45 mins after your done.. help your body out! and it will help you not to stall. Ive bee lucky I havent had to deal with any real stalls since i started because ive worked out since i could.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU HOPE THIS HELPS!

I'm with you on earning every pound post op. I love working out now. I've started ab work but I listen to my body, if it hurts I stop. I usually only do 50-60 crunches 2x a week. My legs have been shrinking dramatically so its everything I can do to keep them. I want to be tone too, not jiggly. I've started strength training, nothing too crazy, but I love moving weight. Congrats on all your progress!
