    Trying not to worry...need help!!

    My doctor told me at my first follow up appointment that if I measured my success by the scale I would be disappointed every time. My scale reads 203 pounds and has been there for a couple of weeks now but the size 36 pants that fit when I first got them not too long ago are getting real loose. So just because I can’t see it on the scale doesn’t mean stuff isn’t happening.

    Preparation

    Critically important. The surgery fixes your stomach...not your head. If your head isn't straight you can easily make the surgery pointless.

    Immediately after I was walking. At two weeks I was swimming & at on month I was cut loose on weights & cardio!

    I started walking the day of surgery and never looked back. I walk every day. Now, I'm up to walking 1-40 minute session and 1-30 minute session per day--that's over 2 miles per day which sounds wussy, but is HUGE for me. At 6 weeks I was released to do strength training and I began in PT again to help me build core strength and endurance in preparation to working with someone to help me with a strength training (weights) plan. I have no limitations.

    Stall- need advice

    Watch your calories....get them under 1200. Up your exercise and switch it up...if you do the same exercise all the time your body adapts and it's less effective. Throw in something completely new in your routine. Most of all...be patient, and stay the course. Stalls suck, but they're part of the game.

    Not Crazy

    Poor you, sorry to hear it wasn't as simple as waiting it out and it getting better on it's own. Speedy recovery and hope there are no more bumps in the road for you.

    Thank you! I'm sure I'll have more questions as it gets closer. I am ok but then at times I get terrible anxiety so that's my issue now but hearing people who have made it through the surgical process helps for sure. The hospital and surgeon I am having it at use nerve/pain blocker shots so idk if I'll have morphine but for sure if I need it I'll take it lol.

    I have trouble with this rule too ... and I drink tiny sips when I eat if I feel the need to and I've not had any troubles ... i do try not to drink while i eat ... but if i get thirsty, i'll take a sip or two ... i just think the reason for the rule is so that your body will take in the vitamins/nutrients from the food first ... makes sense ... but sometimes, you're just thirsty !
