Personal trainer



Recommended Posts

I started back to the gym this week and had my first session with my personal trainer today. Thinks went really well. We are set to meet weekly at least through the end of the year. Looking forward to my next session.

Since I rarely go out to restaurants anymore, I'm able to afford the trainer! That's a win win!!

I'd love to avoid plastics, but despite my intense workouts and heavy weight training, I still see loose skin coming on my upper arms and inner thighs. I'm cautiously optimistic about my stomach though. We'll see...

Weight training and exercise will help fill out the loose skin, but won't do anything truly about the skin itself. Genetics is a huge part and time helps (mine is much less than it used to be). But the more you lost and the longer you were overweight the more the elasticity will be gone and there is nothing to bring that back.

I lost most of my weight and yet my knees still hurt so much that I had trouble climbing stairs. I met a trainer who convinced me he could help me fix that and he did!

He started me off doing assisted squats and now I'm squatting with a 60 lb weight on my back and lunging with 20 lbs - no pain!!!

It was worth every penny for me.

      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.
