Baybridgestylist 2 Posted December 19, 2014 I have my pre-opt appointment in three and a half weeks. I need to lose seven pounds by then. I had an appointment today and was disappointed that I wasn't closer to the required weight loss. I've been strength training, weights, and cardio. Apparently I shouldn't be doing anything besides cardio for weight loss right now. I can't help but feel discouraged, because I've been working so hard. I'm in need of to suggestions......

thin-for-kidney 21 Posted December 19, 2014 May just do "a little bit" of the weights, you know instead of doing 40 lbs. for your arms do 10-15lbs. You don't want to gain muscle wait right now, so that's why cardio is so important, after surgery THEN the weights will totally help with getting more muscle and toneing the skin to where it needs to be. Anyway, that's my opinion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
