Almost 1 month out-I went to the GYM today!!!



Recommended Posts

I promised myself I would get my arse back to the gym when I got into the 180s. I did not think I'd hit the 180s for a while. Well, I weighed in last night at 189!!! That's 41 lbs since I started my pre-op ( so almost 5 weeks) I haven't been to the gym in years because I couldn't stand people looking at the fat girl trying to run. Well... I just did it!! I went to the gym and guess what you guys?!? I RAN ON THE TREADMILL!!!! Well, 2 min walk 1 run, 2 walk 1 run. But I did it!! I tried running my dog before and I couldn't stand the fat jiggles/ flops when I ran before. My goal is that, at 1 year out( or sooner) I'm running a half marathon. I can't wait!!!!

Girl, you can DO IT!!

I started the same way (I'm pre-op) at right around 200#. Within 6 mos I had completed a 5K, 10K, and half marathon.

You can DO IT!

Thanks everyone!! I went 5 days in a row, but my body is rebelling as a pulled groin. So I took today and maybe tommorrow off and then I'm back at it. I'm already starting to notice a difference in the running time. I can run for longer at a time. But a question......

When you started back at the gym, did you feel bloated and gain Water weight? I was at 189 when I started at the gym. Within a couple days I was at 194.5!! I upped my carbs ( from 60 to 80)and Protein ( from 80 to 100) for the gym, but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't have. Any ideas?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
