Anyone else fantasize about working out? ?

As my surgery date approaches, I fantasize a lot about the aftermath. Of course the smaller clothes and all that is something I think about, BUT I find I mostly fantasize about working out! Anyone else with me on that? ? I have always enjoyed working out, that sweat and burn afterward but my knees and ankles and back usually put a halt to the intensity I like to have. I loved yoga but holding 250+ lbs steady kinda takes away from that. Anyway, I dream about being able to run a 5k, maybe even a half marathon some day. Putting on something other than a baggy tshirt and sweat pants and hitting it hard at the gym for an hour. I can't wait!

In my dreams preop I would dream that I could run for blocks and blocks without getting winded. It was kind of like flying. I enjoy a bit of running now, but I have a long way to go before I could run too far without getting tired.

I keep looking for new types so I will never get bored. I just ordered a trampoline, and am considering getting some of those Cardiff skates I've recently heard about. Anything to keep the momentum and excitement going!

Me! I exercise regularly now, but my weight does make some activities difficult, uncomfortable or sometimes painful. Plus my doctor said no excercising for the first 4 weeks. He's ok with low speed walking and moving - just nothing sweaty and heart pumping. Thinking of even that is hard for me.

I already have started doing the exercises they demonstrated in my class. I'm doing 10 exercises 2x a day. A minute for each. Can't wait until I can do more. I've had 5 back surgeries which makes this more difficult for me, but I'm hanging in there great! ☺

Yes...I just want to run again and I dream I just keep going and going!

New to this process but looking forward to becoming more active. Im hoping for sleeve date in September!

I am so glad its not just ME,I thought maybe because I was bedridden for so long that just the thought of sitting makes me feel sick. My cardiologist said nothing to extreme so for now just walking is all he will clear me for but I am sure once more weight drops off he will allow me to do more(I HOPE) CUZ i want to GET fit & healthy ????
