Topic: RE: Be Motivated Always! Do not Give Up!

Hi Julibel,

Thanks for asking! This month is my 6 years Post Op!!! I am continuing to do really well! After having a Bariatric Surgery Procedure, one must realize and must remain mindful of their daily food intakes at all times. If you have to keep a Journal of your daily food intakes, this will help you stay focus of the foods you eat!!! This also helps you to monitor the foods that are consumed that is healthy for you!!!! The foods that are not healthy for you to consume it will be easier for you to pinpoint, eat only in moderation, or completely avoid. The calories intake must equal the daily energy consumption by doing exercises to burn off the calories (calories in vs calories out) For an example: if your calories intake 2300 calories a day, to not gain weight, you must burn 2300 calories a day to maintain your weight. It is called "Energy Balance!"

I continue to maintain my weight loss journey. If I gain a few pounds, I know how to lose weight without no struggle.. It is a lifetime commitment that I am truly devoted and dedicated to make it apart of my healthy daily lifestyle journey.

Julibel, I hope this helps! Have a wonderful day!!!

Topic: Pre-Op at 488 lbs: Looking for "High BMI" Recovery & Mobility Hacks"

"Hi everyone, I haven't had my surgery yet, but I'm currently 488 lbs and preparing for the Duodenal Switch. My goal is 190 lbs.

I'm an athlete at heart and I'm ready to hit the ground running, but I'm nervous about those first few weeks post-op. For those of you who started at a higher BMI (450+), I'd love your real-world advice.

It's great that you can pick and explore useful sources of knowledge. Slope Free is a well-known arcade game that gets players excited right away. Players travel on randomly created slope free platforms down a steep slope at high speed.

You should find out if it's effective within a week to ten days, so it could be worthwhile to give it a shot for a limited time.

U asked 4 workout tips ... Im ( still) a certified personal trainer ...

Swimming n walking r WONDERFUL U cant hurt Urself with those n they also calm Ur mind ...

I highly recommend beach walking and yoga too.

Personally Im a horse archery n gymnastics person so I jes have tot fun on the big backs of galloping beautiful horses and then I get 2 draw them !!!

Holy cow what a treat ! It really helps too that Im jockey- weight ( if much taller ) and that I never need or want a saddle or any gear.

The thoroughbreds so appreciate running free I think the trainers imagine Im some kind of horsey therapist ... nah they cure me lol!

Hi Tony and WELCOME !!!

Were SO happy 2 meet U ! Im sure others will have many more tipz but

1) movement matters - much more than what U eat I find .

That doesnt mean I deliberately make bad choices jes that my tiny tummy means reasonableness ( like eating some fat n not ridgidly dieting constantly like 14 years ago pre op when I was making my living from modeling n acting )

2) vites- particularly non elemental iron n vitamin C every single day r super important mostly 2 keep up Ur energy n long term health . NOT worth slacking on this !

3) springing Ur skin back into shape as U reduce is HUGE . U dont want 2 feel nor ever hav 2 feel like a " melted candle " .

If U work out , use 2% salycylic acid ( inexpensive ) bodywash every time U shower n bathe ..Neutrogena sells a great grapefruit scented acne scrub available in any drugstore for $7.99 !

Ull look great in a swimsuit - super hott even in six months time :)

Dont forget U have LOTS going 4 ya in th beauty dept- nice long neck n probably good posture - great big far set cow eyes that photograph beautifully - hopefully an amazing head of hair even!!

AND Ure probably super tall which very much attracts th ladiez lol
