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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
