4 days postop.

I have stuck to my guns and walked everyday.

Longest was 4 miles. Shortest was 2. DR won't let me WT train for 2 weeks. Not sure I would want to any way.

Today I am shooting for 4 again.

Last night was upper body at 10 rep circuits. Then, another 15 minutes on treadmill running for 10 minutes for 1.04 miles.

This morning, back at the elliptical for 55 minutes. Tonight is lower body again.

Gonna take it easy the rest of the week on the running as I have my 4th 5k on Saturday and my legs were killing me last night after the last 5 days of running, especially Sundays run.

Good luck with the 5k CERAdad.

Thanks daddy. This may be my last one of the awhile. After this one, I start my training for 4 wks leading up to my first sprint tri on July 19. Then, another sprint tri on Aug 2. After those two, we'll see for more 5k's.

Last night was my lower body workout. Had a tough time getting into the flow of it as there was a guy trying to show his wife how to do leg exercises and they kept using the machines I do my circuits on.

Not saying they can't do it, just complaining about how they were doing it. He kept taking her to a new machine, give her the bare minimum of proper use, and then would go over to other areas to do HEAVY work on his own. She would stay on the machines instead of letting others use in btwn her sets.

Plus, I am one of those people that get very irritated when working out. I don't like my routine to get messed up. But, I live with it as I know it is my issue, not theirs.:drool:

This morning was 55 minutes on the elliptical again. No workout tonight as I have softball.

ceradad - good luck w/the 5k!!

i respect the heck out of you guys running, really after this morning i felt like i could puke my kashi Cereal - sorry for the visual.

today -

90min conditioning class w/Baylor Football players - talk about fish outta' Water. these guys were HUGE!!! & i'm 5'1 if i stand up straight. anyway, i can't really break down all that we did, because a lot was a blurr - but 60 of the 90mins was running. sprint drills / mile run mix, again bit of a blurr. i had to stop 3 times to grab my ankles and catch my breath, but i noticed a few players do the same:biggrin:

Cera: You are going LOVE the sprint TRI. I am addicacted. There are a few of them around here. My only problem is there 45-65 dollars to enter. I just cant do as many s i want. My wife thinks im crazy for paying that to exercise. And i so agree with you about the people on machines. I hate it when people rest between sets on equipment. One gym i went to had signs not to do that. The worst was once i was at a Ballys Total Fittness in Cleveland OH when i was on buisness and this one woman sat on the fly machine talking on her Cell phone! I hovered around it for 10mins but nope..she just kept talking. I finaly had to go over and interupt her. 'can I use this machine please?'

So i have to limit to one per month.

LuLuc: Good job on the crazy workout. I think its good for you body to get a shock to the system once in a while like that. Way to go for hanging in there.

Last night: 15mile bike ride.

This Morning: Chest and arm workout

30 mins swiming.

Yeah daddy, I hear you on the wife front. Mine thinks I'm nuts also, but she is being very supportive. As I'm sure yours is as well. They aren't cheap though. But, I could see them going for more. We have one in town sponsored by LifeTime Fitness that goes for $145. :smile2: No way I'm doing that one. The two I'm going for are $45 a piece.

luluc-great job on the workout w/Baylor. I can tell you from experience, no matter how much they train leading up to practices, the coaches always kick their asses. So, getting out there with them is accomplishment in itself. Hanging with them, even better.

Took yesterday off from work to get some well deserved rest. Been on the go consistently for over a month.

Rode my bike 3.75 miles each way to the gym. Did my upper body workout and then 65 minutes on the elliptical.

Working early shift today, so I'll head home, get the bike and ride over to the gym. Lower body today. No cardio beyond the biking so I can rest for my 5k tomorrow morning. Should be fun.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
