Trying to get on the band wagon

I'm still waiting for a date. So far I've been placed on a diet/exercise plan to follow through even after surgery. I've at this now for close to a month and still hate doing it every day just as much as I HATED THE FIRST. At what point should this feeling phase out-or does it? I'd love to here from some of you that have been there already. I know the gain the best results and maintain my health post surgery,but is this dread of exercise still a common thing for most of you or am I just the laziest a**?

It's a tough road but I think post-op when your seeing a nice wt loss...it's gets easier.JMO

Hang in there!

Hi Shay!

Nice to meet you. I would say that Wendy is right. Some people get to a point where they really love exercise. To be honest, I am over two years post op and that hasn't happened for me. That said, I wear a pedometer and move my tail at LEAST 10K steps a day and earlier this evening I was upset about something, but instead of marching my tail into the kitchen to have a nice warm, devil's food cupcake drenched in chocolate frosting, I took my behind outside, cleaned out a flowerbed and planted 3 Knock-Out Roses. I don't like exercise and I don't like gardening, but I like the results of both, so I do it anyway. I have to tell you that since I'm not carrying an extra old lady around with me anymore, it's a lot easier to do those things. 

You are right about the fact that you are going to need to move if you want to keep the weight off in the long run, but I think you may find that it won't be nearly as difficult for you to do that next year as it is right now. 

Wishing you all the best,
