But for know at least I'm excersing some!!! Way to to all of you that are out there working those pounds off!

I went to funk class tonight at Bally's - it was soooooo much fun, definitely a workout. A couple of girls there go to this other class at a different place - pole dancing! they want me to come, but I don't know...they said it's a total workout, and it's funny. We'll see.....

You go Carrie, swinggggggggg:faint:oopppps get back up Carrie. LOL So were you doing this in funk class?:) That should have burned some serious calories.

J & L I pulled my stationary bike out the corner yesterday. I am going to put it back in the living room so I can ride when I am just watching tv. Stay on the treadmill because that is a no excuse workout. I am motivated now.

LSasha, Kee, Connie, Karen, Carrie, Stocy, :grouphug:thank you guys for the inspiration to move and do better. I got a good work out this weekend raking leaves. I didn't feel it Saturday until but feel more worked muscles Sunday and even more today. I like that feeling, it let's me know I actually used some muscles.

I'm still doing my crunch's. I know I have a lot of belly fat but muscle is muscle, hopefully those muscles will help to burn :flame:some of the fat around them.

:) It's a new day isn't it.... well I weighed in last night and I am :xena_banana:.....I was totally :omg: when I saw the scale numbers. I gained, not only did I gain it might as well been a newborn baby....7pounds. I don't get it:confused:. I have been eating more vegetables, exercising without anyone whipping me. I am now back up to 418:faint:. I am totally disgusted but I am going to try not to let this throw me off because right now I just want to quit. I didn't exercise this morning, I haven't eaten Breakfast yet because I don't know what to eat. Maybe I'll just wait until I get hunger pains or just drink plain tea, Water and have a slimfast for lunch. I don't know what the hell to do right now.

I'm still upset :think

HELLO??!!! If you are working out and eating veggies, maybe you are gaining muscle. Which is better, because it burns more fat. There's a little back & forth for a while, but then you'll be steadily losing if you keep it up! Do you have any access to a body fat % machine? Because that will help you see that even if you are gaining a little weight, your body fat is going down. This is a struggle for us all! I went back up to 202 after I was so excited to be 198. But I got a personal trainer package from Bally's to kick my butt into gear for this month until I can get my much needed fill on Feb 22!!!

That's exactly whats happening..the more I hit the gym the more I gain, so I will go w/your assessment:nervous

My scale does calculate body fat. I got it for xmas and havent even set up my profile on the thing. I will do that so I can keep track of my body fat.

Hello Everyone...

Today I walked around the lake at Allen Pond Park. It only took me 15 minutes. Next time I will walk around it two times. At home I walked in place and danced for another 15 minutes.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
