Extremely out of shape - Could use some help.
KristieAtkinson replied to Huntingnurse's topic in Fitness & Exercise
When I started I could hardly walk long distances, & couldn't do 2 minutes on the elliptical. i was the biggest woman at the gym. I didn't know HOW to exercise. I started slow with swimming & Water aerobics. I have 2 disks bulged in my back. Slowly I started adding in an extra 5 minutes at a time to my cardio. Then added in a 30 minute Zumba or kickboxing class. Then I started hitting the weights. Low weight. 10-15 reps. 3 sets. (I don't want to look like a body builder, just sculpt.) Now I can do an hour on the elliptical. an hour at Zumba. Sometimes i do both back to back. One particularly insane day I did 1 1/2 hours on the elliptical. O_o I am working on week 4 of couch to 5k. I'm slow. Running sucks. But somehow I like it in a twisted kind of way. I started my journey at 338. I'm now at 197. From a size 30 jeans to a 12. Getting skinny is awesome! But knowing that I'm healthy, that I might have a chance to survive if I was chased by a tiger.......ok. I might survive a three legged turtle attack. Lol. But you CAN do this! And I'm happy to help any way that I can. Kristie -

KristieAtkinson replied to Ms skinniness's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I can't thank you enough for posting this. I've been struggling with Water retention issues for months now. It's been driving me crazy! And I've even done the gain with calorie reduction thing! I'm so relieved to know what this is & how to fix it! -
They make body suits that allow you to wear your own bra & will wrap around the arms & hold the batwings in. I know slimpressions makes some. It's a girdle for your batwings. Best of luck sweets! You are doing really well!

I'm sure OTR does. He knows his protein. And if he bought a million cases you can GUARANTEE it is good for you! -
I've cheated everyday on my Pre op diet:-(
KristieAtkinson replied to shakur154's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yup! Get those shakes in. I make mine as pudding or with a lot of ice like ice cream so I can eat it with a spoon. Makes me feel like I'm actually eating food if I can eat with a spoon! Glad to help any way we can. We are all in this together. No worries about failure! After surgery, you will be fully on board! :-) -

KristieAtkinson replied to shakur154's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have plenty of time to help your surgeon. Watch the hidden carbs on those salads (dressing!) and those bars you are eating are carb loaded. -

KristieAtkinson replied to shakur154's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you must cheat, my dr said to stick to eggs, meat, cheese. ZERO carbs please. This is important to shrink your liver for the surgeon to pick up out of the way. Some instances of unshrunk livers have resulted in liver laceration by the tool they use to lift it. People have died from that. Please try to stick to diet as best you can. I know it's hard but you can do this! But definitely cut the carbs. Much love. ❤ -

That's what mine said too. And I had to use that awful smelly antibacterial body wash. O_o -

KristieAtkinson replied to pammycakes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh MMM gee!! I'm literally cracking up. Then I unbuckled my seat belt & pulled up my shirt (probably flashed a semi truck driver!). Yup. My scars are right under my boobs. So yeah.......they taped my girls. Bwahahahaha. Unless them falling into my arm pits when I'm flat qualifies as "out of the way"!
