I had surgery on May 26th and am going to the gym for the first time today. Think of it this way...the more you go to the gym the faster you lose the weight and tone up! Good Luck!

Do it! See if you like it. If not, just find an activity you really love. I'd been going to the gym for years. Got really comfortable on the elliptical. Then I gave in to my friend who kept telling me to try kickboxing. Well I found that I LOVE that. I tried going to the gym after I'd been doing it for a few weeks and found I was bored. I do kickboxing now usually 6 days a week.

The only thing I could do to get motivated is have someone go with me. My dad works out every single morning and has been wanting to me to get to the gym so badly. So I finally told him I could join up if he would go with me every afternoon and be my personal trainer. He agreed. We start today!

Oh...and I went shopping and got some cute workout clothes. That helped too. ;)

GOOD LUCK!

It took me 2 months & an 18 day plataue to get myself motivated. & it jumpstarted my weight loss big time! Granted this just occurred last week so I hope I stay motivated! Lol

Try a class at the gym or getting a personal trainer. Try going 2-3 days a week and build yourself up from there. Take at least a day break in between until you start working your way up. You can do this, just take it slow and work your way up there.

Sweetpea, make sure you check with your Dr about going to a gym this early after surgery. I couldnt do anything but walk for 6 weeks. You dont want your band to slip.
