What are your daily regimines for weight loss?



Recommended Posts

Ok so we all discuss the caloric intake, but how much exercise and what types of exercises do you do? Is it on a daily basis, every other day? And lastly, how long? I was banded on 5/15 and went to the gym 2 times since (fast walking for 30 mins on treadmill) but since I went back to work I walk to and from the train everyday (about 30 mins total). Other than that, nada. I did this because I was being lazy :wink:, but really waiting til my body heals. im going to the gym right after work but I need to do something to get this weight to start falling off since I been at a stagnant weight since the the surgery (grrrr!! :)).

I run (outside) for about 40 minutes to an hour about five days a week(6 to 10kms). that's my basic routine. I switch it around a bit - sometimes I jsut go out and run and other times for a period of a few months I include more interval training type runs (REALLY hard). I was doing a bit more strength training too but to be honest, I've experimented and I feel running keeps PLENTY of muscle on my lower body and i ust throw in some core work and some pushups and dips 3 times a week or so *(15 minutes after a run).

this gives me the sort of body I want - lean and toned. I've found strength training tends to bloat me out a bit and make me look "thicker" and definitely a few pounds heavier, so I've kind of gone back to just running. it was also starting make exercise time consuming and a bit of a chore, whereas I need no encouragement to go out and just run.

its the old, whatever you will actually DO is the best exercise for you.

I love running.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
