CONGRATS 💜

The problem is you can't give up food completely like other substances that are abused. Have you looked into OA further? I'm curious how they help. I hate to make this comparison because it feels tacky but salads can be used like methadone (too far?)

So nice you posted twice! CONGRATS 💜

We need an underground clothing exchange...

Agreed. No one on the internet will be able to help with that. l would B -line straight to my doctor...

I haven’t even had my surgery yet and I’m tired of all the stall posts. Would be nice to have a FAQs for new members thread at the top of every forum. Not sure if people would read it but it may help some people. The first FAQ should address that the search feature is your friend. Your question has probably been addressed before and to Please start there. Some sort of filtering features, right?

That's some honesty right there...

I literally no longer have the stomach for dating...

Annnnnnnnnnd I'm back. I'm going to need this site to consider creating dedicated sections for Stalls and Regrets. That's all you see these days in regards to need threads and it's kind of repetitive.

Salad time! Oh you thought we broke up? Nope

It's hard... yes yes yes that's what she said

My workout partner, has found another workout partner...

Of course not 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 *Meanwhile I'm crawling to a safe space before I pass out

I've already done that today...

My baby mill is shut down... I have another good 6 years before a child of mine tells me I'm a Grandma, so I'm going to need to get these plastics before that happens...

Nah. A good plastics team, a generous sponsor and a great harness crew. 😉

An ode to pendulums... When it's all said and done I just want to look like this...

Damnit!

Amazing 💜

*Swoon* I need a boyfriend why again?

I have actually watched ALL of Dr. V's Videos as I am on of his YouTube subscribers. But he's not on my Team... So I cherry pick what I like (from everywhere) and bounce ideas off my team Do what's right for you. If that means no, gym. Then no gym. Safe Journey 🎈

The Dr doesn’t actually say don’t work out at all but under what pretenses are we actually trying to work out under? That matters, it won’t be beneficial to patients who were formally obese unless we work on out mental state first. Likely under the pretenses of setting up a holistic approach to recovery from obesity. You can, if so inclined, work on it all at the same time, you don't have I spend a year working out the mental, then the second the physical. Keep in mind that all this pro exercise rhetoric is from person who sometimes can't/ sometimes won't go to the gym. I've seen the difference it makes.

I agree with @Matt Z, exercise is still important for prevention/repair of muscle atrophy, toning, and fascia health. It made a noticable difference just doing hardcore walking and jumping. It made a lot of difference in not having a ton of loose skin, especially weight training instead of cardio only. But on the flip side I was not at the gym 14 hours after surgery. My team let me know when it was physically safe to go back, by incision site healing, even then I was too wiped out for the efforts. I did 5 minute bursts at home. It was all I could do immediately after surgery. People are all different and know their personal level of endurance. That should be a guide for how fast or slow you choose to take it.
