Hey Challengers!!!

What are some of the things you all are doing or using to keep active? I am 8 weeks post op and have been given the green light for all activity and I have a bowflex revolution and treadclimber that I am anxious to get started on. I start my work out routine tonight. I will be doing arms on mon-wed-fri and will be doing legs and trunk on the other days. I also bought a vivofit and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! I have found that it pushes me to get those extra steps in and I really feel that I pay more attention to inactivity. I am obsessed with keeping the red line down!!! lol If you have a vivofit please add me to your contacts so we can keep each other motivated...my vivofit name is rac8610 would love to have more in my community to keep up with!!!

Sorry - I wrote my post before the 7th, but I was having computer issues, and although it looked like it went through, somehow it didn't "go" and i'm not on this challenge yet. If it's not too late to jump in, my weight on November 7 was 199 and my weight on the 14th was198. My Goal for January 2 is 185.

Susan -- I'd like to jump in, too, if you don't mind. I've been stalled for months following orthopedic surgery and immobility. I'm healing now, and as I'm moving more, the scale seems like it might start wiggling. I weighed 184 on 11/7 and 11/14, and I'll weigh in again (and post) tomorrow.

I was sleeved on 12/03/13 with a 267 start weight. My goal is 134, but I'd like to be at 174 by 01/02/15, so ten pounds down.

Okay need some help. I can lose 3 pounds in a day and go up 2 pounds in the same day. I am very rigid about getting my Water and fluids in but have trouble getting Protein in. I only eat carbs in the morning and my grains are sketchy. I need help to get my proper balance in please. I am 4 1/2 months post op and still drink Protein Shakes when I can't eat.

1st, stop weighing everyday. Once a week is more than enough. 2nd Get your protein in first. Don't waste your limited capacity on grains and carbs until you get your protein in. Even at 11 months out I have a 30-40g protein smoothie everyday. I was getting 60g in by 5 days postop and probably get between 70-90 at this point. I eat a lot of meat, eggs, dairy, nuts, then veggies and fruit before grains. And I didn't start in on the fruit and grains until I was close to goal about 6 months out. And don't forget your vitamins!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
