So, I started the gym today. I get a free year at the heart center at our hospital, so I'm finally taking advantage of it. So far today, with the speed walking I did around school after working out, then shopping/walking all day with my bff, I've got a net calorie of -22. Ha! I don't know that I've ever burned 6-700 calories a day!

Hey guys! I just signed up to be trained by a personal trainer 2 days a week! I'm so excited! He's worked with several bariatric patients and will personalize the workouts to my fitness level! I am curious about all of your nutrient recommendations from your surgeons. I've not been given a set calorie limit. Only 2oz servings and 70g Protein a day. What are your surgeons recommending?

Yay!

I also have no calorie limit. Basically I was told to only focus on getting the 60 protein for for the day. Which if eating high protein foods at meal times, is going tomes keep those calories, fat, and carbs lower. Although if we're going to be working out, we need some carbs. like today I've only really had 2 meals cause I haven't been hungry, but my protein is at 53 grams. I hate 2 lunch meat roll ups for Breakfast pre workout, and then tried the kids steak at applebees for a late lunch. Haven't been hungry yet again tonight. But I'll eat something before bed.

Sarah, if it isn't at that deepest incision site, and it doesn't sound like it is, I'd call my surgeon's office. It could be gas or a million other things but it's always best to make that call and get checked out.

Thinking about sneaking a small glass of wine in tonight on date night. I was given the okay and I'm not really a habitual drinker. I'm a little reluctant to ask if anyone has had a little alcohol since surgery just because every forum I've read with the same topic is filled with indignation and it's really annoying to read. This has been been a great group so far so I just wanted to run by you guys what you thought? I figured I'd have a few sips to Celebrate tonight ..thoughts?

I was told by my dr no alcohol for a year, but I actually gave up alcohol all together. Last drink was July 23, 2013 lol I started trying to lose weight last year and it knew alcohol was just a waste of calories. Just my choice

How much was the fitbit? You'll have to let me know how you like it. I've been thinking about getting one or something like it for a little while know. I just use my phone for now, but if it's in my purse or not on me it obviously doesn't track. It's a Samsing app, and pretty great, but I'd love something more accurate.

I love mine! It's a constant reminder for me to get in some exercise, even if it's just a walk around a few blocks. I aim for 10,000 steps a day, but some days I don't get that in which case my goal is also to get no less than 5000 steps a day.

That is weird! Is it a phone or ipad? My ipad app does so much more than my phone app.
