Exercise and time spent in the gym???



Recommended Posts

At this point, I don't exercise or go to the gym. I'm just trying to create a more active lifestyle...one I can live with for the rest of my life. I'm amazed at how many hours some of you spend in the gym because I'd have to give up something I love doing (quilting, gardening, weaving, etc.) in order to do something I detest. I do swim laps for an hour one day a week during the school year at the high school's pool but that's about it. I'm looking for other activities I like (possibly Zumba) that I can do at home 1-2 days a week but more because they're fun than because it's just exercise.

To those who love killing themselves at the gym and sweating for hours a day every day...more power to you...but it's not for me. :smile:

I work so much harder at the gym than at home. I slack off big time when I am doing my excercise tapes at home. Who wants to look like a loser at the gym? I know we shouldn't care what other people think but I don't want people looking at me going why did she come here if she is going to slack off? LOL!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
