Exercise before and after.



Recommended Posts

I have always loved the way exercise makes me feel. I used to be a runner several years ago and never had any weight problems. Quit running- got fat. Now i go hiking, love it!!! I also work out at the gym 4 to 5 times a week. You feel so....good when you are done. Lots of Water also. Donna

:eek: Ok so after I posted this about exercise, and my son said to me, "why do you need surgery? Why can't you just exercise and eat right now?" I decided to get a group of people together to exersice together, weigh in once a week, and change our eating habits, for a local weight loss contest.

We have been doing this now for about 10 days. I have lost 8 pounds already!

My son who is over weight is doing it as well, and he has lost 6 pounds.

I'm thinking if we can keep this up I won't need the surgery after all.

People should try this if you haven't. It is way better if you do it with people. Our group walks at a local school in the evening. It's cold her in MN so we can't walk outside right now. We walk 2 miles 3x per week. We also eat better. A few people are going to weight watchers. We also exercise on our own.

I found some yummy healthly low cost food at a store called Trader Joe's. You should try the Chile Lime chicken Breast. They are in the frozen section. Only 110 cal, 3g fat, 15g protine.They also have frozen green Beans that are yummy with some added fat free spray butter.

I wish everyone the best of luck, and I hope I can keep this up!

Jen, MN :)

Good luck to you. I never had a problem losing weight, I had a problem maintaining that loss.

The most I ever lost was 10 pounds. So we will see. I still may need the Lab Band, but I am hoping I won't.

Congrats on your weight loss!!

"Diet and exercise"

Yep, I've lost hundreds of lbs that way over my lifetime-- and gained them all back when the willpower lagged. The whole point of the band, for me, is to backstop me when I fall off the wagon. Kinda hard to pig out on pizza when you're vomiting out the second slice.

      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. 🤞
