Looking for a Workout Partner in Fort Worth



Recommended Posts

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately but I read all post and everyone seems to be doing great... Surgery 9/19...down 53 lbs...started at size 20-22 down to a 12-13! ;)

I am loving my new look and life.

I would love to find a work out partner in the Fort Worth area if anyone is interested. I joined Planet Fitness in north side Fort Worth ($10 a month) and think I would have better motivation if I had a friend with the same goals as me to work out with. Call me if interested 817-223-6241.

I'm in the Azle area. I have a gym membership at a small local gym and I'm committed for a year. What area of town are you in?

Not too far at all. I don't think I could meet up on a regular basis but certainly we could meet occasionally to do a work out. My sister had the same surgery 6 weeks before me and she also lives in Azle.

I think it would be nice to meet up n talk if nothing else...I don't know anyone around me who has had the surgery so it would be nice to talk to someone who is going through the same thing...that's cool that u both had it...how is progress for the both of u?

I've lost 110 (95 since surgery) and I think she's right at 95 total lost (she never disclosed exact pre-op numbers). I'm 7 months post-op and she's right at 9 months.

We need to set up a meeting sometime soon.

Ladies, most gyms do allow members to bring the occasional guest. You might consider checking your gyms guest policies and meet up at alternating gyms as policy allows.

I live near downtown FW (Hulen & 30). Had surgery on 6/28. Started at 279 (size 24) and am down to 207 (size 16). My exercising has consisted mostly of walking. I don't know many people in town who have had surgery or otherwise as I am not from Texas.

Tarrant County has several community centers which all have small gyms inside. The cost for a year for a family of up to 6 people is only $40. The only downside is that the hours are limited. The one closest to me is open 7a-7p.

      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.
