hello everyone. Im new at this so please bear with me., Had gastric bp surg couple years ago n lost 70lbs. gained 20 back. just joined fitness club one week ago, so trying to lose weight, tone myself {smile}, and I need HELP.
If anyone has any suggestions, advice, menues, anything to help me jump start, i'd really appreciate it.
Don't beat yourself up and plan, plan, plan. I plan so much that sometimes I think I am obsessed but this is what I have to do or I fail. There is no magic, just good healthy eating and exercise.
I'm not sure if where you got your surgery you were required to take a nutrtion class but it maybe a good idea to talk with a nutritionist or take a class becuase you need to rethink your eating. Especially with GB surgery.
Good luck and be patient( I know it hard)!
