Topic: Ouch!

Hello.  I am 6 mos. Post rny surgery and have just successfully lost over 100lbs.  Here is my issue...  when sitting in a chair or performing sit-ups,  I feel as though my spine i****ting the surface.  Sit-ups have almost become impossible.   Has anyone experiencedown this and if so has it improved?

Wierd though eh? I've spent a lot of time this weekend pitching this as an app that needs developing to my husband haha. I'm going with fitocracy for now, but I'm not a fan.

I have yet to find a good app for this, sorry :(  I've looked around a lot.

Not only do you feel good after, soon, it will bum you out if you don't do it (whatever activity you land on). I was thinking, and another thing that might help the first few times, is to bring someone with you. At least until you are comfortable in a new environment.

Hi All-

I am a newbie.  Had my first consult with my surgeon yesterday.  Because of my insurance, my WLS will not be for at least six months.  I HATE exercise.  Walking I am okay with.  A little weight lifting that is okay too.  I have a recently torn meniscus so I am limited as to what I can do.  But I feel I have to do something.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

I have lost 122# and maintained the loss for 7 years with no exercise

YES!  I have had so many people tell me how inspirational I am for them.  That outweighs all the other negative brain talk :)

I belong to the YWCA and I know a lot of women wear a shirt over there bathing suite until they feel comfortable to take it off or they take it off once they are in the water and put it on before they get out

That is a great way to put it.  Activity.  My husband bought me a Fitbit Blaze for Christmas.  I am using it already.  Thanks so much.

Just starting this journey to a new me.  Finally not dreading the future.
