clacognata74 0 Posted June 19, 2012 I need some help getting motivated. I had a 13 week bedrest period (had stomach skin removal surgery that got infected and had another surgery to remove infection). After surgery they emptied my band to 3cc's. I was at 7cc's at time of 1st surgery. Those 2 surgeries were Sept and Oct 2011. Since, i had gallbladder removal in Apr 2012. i have gained 22lbs since. My band is at 6.8 but don't feel much restriction. I have no motivation since i have not worked out since Sept.....help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted June 19, 2012 Well, that's disappointing? Gaining weight sucks. You need to start with something small like walking around your favorite park or lake. Taking small exercise steps is the first step in making yourself feel good again. Don't compare your now with your before. Your stomach probably adjusted itself to not being filled and some of the wrinkles and twists have gone away or are in different spots now. Ask for another small fill if you think it's necessary? Just do it all slowly. No rush. tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papaJohn 3 Posted June 19, 2012 Gee Wiz, that doesn't sound like fun Well, my motivation came from our Family Doctor after this winter of what we thought was a heart attack. He said, "loose weight or die!" My thought is there is to much to live for and I want to make it another 23 years to make our children and grand children nuts! Hang in clacognata74 take it slow, do what you have been taught, you can do it........! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
