i had my surgery march of this year. when i got into a 18 from 26-28 i was sooooo happy now am im still in that 18 it has not move one bit!! The good news is am able to eat green and stingbeans again yes!! i have to change my exercise time because i work in the day time and night so it hard to get it n. after i get off from work in the afternoon the last thing is feel like is working out. At first i was only working 3 night a week it was easy to workout in the morning. now i work morning and night i just dont have the engery. I am able to eat more now that scares me i still cant over eat which is a good thing but i can finish a bowl of soup or eat protein and side small amount but still more that i did. I'm glad that i can eat different stuff but it still more. Thanks for listing to me and all your feed back it is a great help!

i would suggest doing a couple of things as far as exercise goes. When i use to work and was doing weight watchers almost 3 years ago i would keep cans of soup in my desk drawer if i was on the phone i would do arm curls. also i found that doing leg lifts under my desk helped to keep my legs going. Sometimes i would stand up if i was on hold and do a leg curl and just stretch. I learned that by stretching your arms up and over your head while sitting was a great way to give you a boost of energy as well and stretches not only your arms but your back and chest.

If your someone that works on your feet maybe then it would e good to do push ups off the wall or counter throughout the day or you can even lean against the wall and do a leg lift. Anything tha keeps your body moving helps. they have weights you can get pretty reasonable that go around your ankle so you can wear them if you walk also that will help build muscle.

Just some ideas. I also use to have a FIT ball that i used vs a chair as it causes you to use your core muscles to balance and sit up straight.

Hope these ideas help. Sorry i can't be of much more help with the other.
