danaymacklin 177 Posted January 17, 2017 Zumba! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Oh yes, I LOVE Zumba! Wasn't sure if it was to early for Zumba. How many weeks post op are you?

danaymacklin 177 Posted January 17, 2017 way to go this is so much more than just about the food. it is a whole lifestyle change proud of you THANK YOU appreciate that and you are spot on!!! I think I saw your reply to someone who said they couldn't work out and you have them a nice reminder of this is how we got here (if that was you:)) but yes exercise is critical. Sure the results of surgery are great but not enough to sustain us. Plus our bodies NEED exercise to be healthy. Even if it's a walk vs hard core workout. Something is better than nothing...we have to push pass our feelings! I was tired yesterday but reminded myself this is a new me and lifestyle I'm committed to but committed to me and good health in 2017 and going forward too. Way to go to you too!

Martha Parker-mcneal 166 Posted January 17, 2017 danaymacklin with that attitude you will be one of our success stories. we just have to keep pushing. I sometimes get off track but it only takes a few lbs of gain to jump start me back to doing what I need to do. that is why these boards are so great. between this and several closed Facebook sites I can get all my questions answered and get the encouragement I need. best of luck to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
