Absolutely my Friend. I’m so glad it helps. Trust me this can be very confusing and hard to process in the beginning. It will all get easier as you progress in the journey. Let me know if you have any other questions about anything. 😊
That’s a great question, I believed I was at 190-180lb mark can’t remember. What I would say is listen to your body. If you are walking at a fast pace and you feel good, don’t feel like you are gasping and your legs feel good you can start running and walking to start building more muscles and more endurance. What I did in the beginning was the 1 to 1 ratio using mailbox. I ran to 1 mailbox then I walked to the other then ran, to the next mailbox and walked to the next mailbox. Did this for a week then increased the running to 2x mailboxes and walked 1x. You can of course tailor this to your comfort. It will be normal to have sore knees, feet, calves, quads and glutes when you first start to run as you will be using muscles you haven’t used in a long time. Do lots of stretching before and after also get you a foam roller to help with running soreness. FYI: When you start to rolling it’s going to be very uncomfortable and will hurt but believe me, it’s like a deep tissue massage, hurts while doing it but feels great once done. Keep me posted on you progress and check out videos on TH-cam on starting to run and stretching. There are lots of great video’s out there. Keep me posted and reach out if you have more questions. Best of luck, and You are and will do great!! 😃😊
After 6 years what can you eat ? For instance I have that had the gastric bypass done,n a year later there eating steak hot dogs hamburgers Spanish food etc etc ?
I can eat anything and everything!! Just small portions. Now too much sugar and carbs will give you lots of gas and can send you to the toilet. I refuse to call it dumping bc that’s more for with gastric by-pass. We have our duodenal switch, they don’t which is why they dump. It’s awesome that eventually we can eat more normal food but it’s bad bc it’s due to our non food control and poor choices that got us into this WLS journey. So it’s a double edged sword.
Thank you Alex I appreciate you making this video , now I have a better understanding of all this ,thank you
