RJ, would you mind giving an idea of what the trainer has you do everyday. I am working with a variety seniors - level strength training and body movement, but I am sure some of us achy old timers would like to know what he has you do, so maybe we could follow along?

Well he is designing a program for me..So once he does I'll let you know some of the ins and outs....I think I am in for a lot of ouch!!!!!lol

This is so great, and I am so proud of you!

Some years ago, I weighted 230-250 lbs but got physically fit, incl. a physical trainer, and it was a wonderful experience.

I think that your having found a trainer who understands how your critical illness is super-smart.

Maybe the most exciting part is to imagine how this will make you stronger and your body more able to knock the poop out of lingering illness. Way to go. I look forward to frequent updates, tips, etc.

How awesome for you! You are so determined!! I also had a complication from wls (nothing compared to yours), and I think it has made me stronger and more determined to make this work and stick for the rest of my life! Good luck and keep us posted!! Maria
