I've been sick all week also. And so strange for me to say but I can't wait to get back to the gym. I'm hoping I feel well enough by Monday to get back to it. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I'm having the same problem. I only have a 30 minute lunch and find that I'm eating way too fast.

Great topic. As someone just getting started, I'd love to hear some tips from vets on which things helped them out. I will say that I have a 32oz Contigo water bottle glued to my side all day, every day that helps me track my water intake. I have a Samsung Gear watch that I wear when I exercise. I am still on soft foods, but am looking into a food tracker to help me once I transition to the next stage. Right now my top contenders are My Fitness Pal and Lose It.

Congratulations to you, and shout out to you also @Orchids&Dragons. Both of you hit incredible milestones and I'm very happy for you. You guys give me something to look forward to.

You look fantastic!

Please tell her we're all here rooting for her and praying for her speedy recovery

You aren't joking. Lately I haven't had any action so I'm starting to feel like my train has jumped the track altogether !

@FluffyChix thanks for the insightful and useful post. I'm working on getting all my legs together and I feel like this surgery has given me a good start. My 5th leg definitely needs some work getting the train on schedule lol

@Frustr8 you are in my prayers. @ellie123 I am so glad you are doing better. Please keep is posted on your recovery.

I started back a couple weeks ago with a Zumba class. I was fine on the first song but was practically crawling out at the end. But each class I noticed I had more endurance. As far as weight loss I really can't say because I'm in a stall right now. But I will tell that continuing to workout even when I'm not losing is helping me cope with the stall because I know it won't be long before the scale moves. And honestly I don't see how exercise could not contribute to weight loss.

Hello @The Preacher and everyone else who believes in the power of prayer on this post. I am asking urgent prayer for craziikid307 . They are on this website and posted a message stating they are suicidal. Please please please lift this person up in prayer so that they will not take their own life and will go and seek the help they need. Thank you

Father God I come before you with an urgent request. Lord I ask you to move on the person reading this post on the other end of this keyboard. I don’t know who they are Lord but you know all things. Please touch their heart right now. I rebuke all spirits of depression, suicide, and sadness in the name of JESUS and I send them back to the pit of hell. Devil I come against you in Jesus' name and I'm telling you that you have no power over this person’s life. Please move on their heart Lord and help them to see themselves the way you see them. Help them to see that they are wonderfully made. Help them to see that they are on this earth for a unique purpose. Help them to feel Your love and the love that so many other have for them. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen

Amazing!

Love love love this post! As someone relatively new to wls (1 mo post op) I can tell you that I feel like I'm going to print your post so I can reflect on it when I am further along in my journey. Thank you for sharing and congrats to you on your success.

I was cleared for aerobic / cardio at my 2 week check up. However my Dr said I cannot do anything that requires lifting over 20 lbs do I'm sticking to walking and Zumba for now.

I am very sorry she is going through this. Please know that I lifted her up in prayer as soon as I saw this post. Please keep us posted on her recovery.

Welcome! I have learned so many valuable things from the discussions on topics that I wouldn't even know to ask. I check with my Dr on specific or major issues but other than that I refer to the chats. I hope you find there's a wealth of information and some great folks on here.

Thank you for this sound advice because I was thinking of cutting a meal out.

Cheers!
