Maybe if you're really diligent you won't need the surgery0 -
Everybody is different. I can tell you my wife had the surgery to band her stomach. She did not stick with the diet and exercise that goes along with the surgery. She gained the weight back. Eating is a problem for her because of the physical reaction to eating more than smallish portions.
There are a number of factors impacting weight gain: genetics, physiological issues, etc.
If u can start with baby steps for exercise and diet, small incremental changes add up over time.
MFP is my conscious. I make food decisions based on the data. That doesnt mean that I dont want to eat a whole bag of chips. I had to give up sodas and it sucked big time. Halloween candy certainly caused some setbacks in the last couple of weeks.
Hang in there. U can do it.
Wishing u the best of luck.

So I go to physio thinking in doing great to be told I need to get much more range of motion. Why? Because I have greater than normal range so to attempt to match the other side i have a lot of work. I'm happy to have a challenge but kinda feel like my stupid body is sabotaging me. Grrrr3

^^I wish doctors and those that push these surgeries were more open and honest about this. I'm not completely against weight loss surgery - I know it can be an effective tool for many - but at the same time, its not fail proof or easy, and too many people think that it will be the quick solution to all their problems. I know when my brother and sister in law went through it, the clinic didn't tell them several of the things that they ended up experiencing, and kept advertising this huge success rate. My brother doesn't regret the surgery but he does wish they had told him some of the downsides that go along with it.
My sister seriously needs it, but I'm afraid she'd be one of those who regains the weight because she doesn't want to change her eating styles. I tried to get her to count calories last year, but after losing 10 lbs, she quit because she was "starving" all the time, even though I had her set up for her height and weight at a modest loss rate - nothing drastic. And in talking about weight loss a few weeks ago, she said she didn't want to have surgery or count calories because she couldn't have pizza or chips anymore. I find it rather sad that she'd rather eat herself into an early grave than learn moderation

No, and I can't wait to get back to work !kenthepainter2 wrote: »I have deeper than normal hip sockets, resulting in torn labrums and a big bump (cam) below the ball of my hip joint on my femor. The doc re-anchored the labrum to my socket and ground down the bump on my femor.
That doesn't sound fun at all

I had Fai/labral repair in 2017. I understand your struggles.
I've had 3 now, if it gives me more trouble the doc said I'll need a replacement0 -

It will thanks just have to be less gentle with myself. My friends and family keep telling me to not push it too much but I think I'm allowed to we'll see0 -
So it turns out that a buzzcut instantly adds about 10 years of ageing.
From 34 to mid-40s in minutes...

any particular reason for the buzz cut?0

I get it. That's the struggle I always have with injury. I can't stand being hindered when all I want to do is just run. I can definitely understand that "itch" to get out.
Hope you get rested and out soon.
Have a great day!😊0 -

Hi! I am Matt, 40, down about 45 lbs in 13 weeks and highly motivated.
I practice DDP Yoga, Enjoy lifting in the gym four days a week and am in the pool two other days. Also am a follower of Jocko Willink.
All the exercise and nutrition in the world is great, but pales in comparison to the mental battle and the importance of discipline.
As such I am always on the lookout to surround myself with other motivated individuals for mutual support and accountability.
If that sounds like you, don't hesitate to drop a friend request my door is open to all, and am more than willing to help those looking for someone to push them to victory with all their goals.
Good luck in your journeys!2 -

One was bad enough. I can't imagine 3. I hope you don't have anymore trouble.
Me too, sitting around a lot isnt good for my weight either!0
