I went through cardio therapy and they test you before and after that. Usually that is post opt because they want to get you up and going after surgery. Of course diet is a big part of all of that.anyone ever have a exercise stress test before?

Not much to the test. They just put you on a treadmill to see how fast and how long you can go. They do that for cardio therapy at the beginning and the end to see how much progress you have made.Oh. They were talking about doing the test on the 28th. They said that my insurance refused to pay for the medicine test and want me to run on the treadmill because the medicine was too expensive for them. But the cardiologist said that if my heart doesn't get up to the level they want it to next Wednesday that the insurance will pay for the medicine they just want me to try the running test first.

There are rails on the side of the tread mill to hold onto. They can not push you too hard because the last thing they want if for someone to go down. A lot of people get hurt that way.I'm sure they're going to make me run without

I weighed 400 pounds at one time. I went on a diet and lose 160 of it. What I did was I only ate for one hour a day, when my wife came home for work. So I did not eat for 23 hours a day. Now I am on a diet where the doctor only wants me to eat soup and they would prefer vegetable soup. Which is fine with me. I get freeze dried soups that I cook in a rice cooker and they have a long shelf life.
Actually my body did that all by itself. I have a hiatus hernia, that occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm and into the chest. So I have to control my eating because of that.my new stomach won't be able to handle the carbonation.

Maybe you can find something that will work for you. It is a LOT easier when I was younger because I could fast and you are not hungry when you are fasting. But I can not do that now.So if I can get into shape maybe I can lose 100-150 pounds on my own without needing to permanently alter my body.

You can always program Alexa to remind you. It is interesting the different things people do to exercise. I knew a women in a wheel chair that used a soup can to lift for exercise. In prison they let them have a plastic gallon of water for weight lifting because they can not hurt people much with that.I do have exercises from my physical therapist that I can do though with proddings and reminders from someone.
Oh my goodness. You poor dear. I feel for you having to deal with this at such a young age. You are right to fear the surgery. Surgeries can be dangerous, but they have also saved many lives. I know, my 22-year-old son almost died from breaking his neck surfing in 1999. But, there was a surgeon available at the hospital when my son arrived, who taught other surgeons how to perform the operation he did on my son to save his life. They told us that someone with his level of injury would have a lifespan of about 10 years. It's been 25 years as a quadrapletic and he is still very healthy, praising the Lord often, and has become an inspiration to many who have come to know the Lord because of his testamony. My prayer for you dear: "Dear Lord, I pray that You will help this young person find a way to restore their health, whether it be through surgery or some other means. Please send this person the right people to help through this and provide comfort in knowing that no matter what happens, You are there and let them know how much you truly love her/him. Please provide comfort and strength as he/she faces this major change in her/his life. In Jesus' precious name. Amen" I will definately continue to pray for you. Please provide updates. God Bless.com. Sorry, wasn't sure from your user name if you are male or femaie.I've recently decided that enough is enough and decided to get weight loss surgery. At my latest weigh in a few weeks ago I weighed almost 440 pounds and I'm not that tall of a person. I am huge and I'm sick of needing a cane everywhere I go and not being able to walk very far and I've pretty much exhausted all other options at this point. The only thing I haven't tried are the weight loss injections but my insurance won't pay for them and they're over $1,000 a month so that's an option that I cannot use anymore. My insurance will however, cover weight loss surgery and I've decided on getting the Lap Band surgery. I've been to the consultation already and I know there is a chance that I not make it alive through the surgery but I am turning 38 in a month and I'm not an morbidly obese 24 year old anymore. I don't want to die when I'm in my 40's I'd like to make it at least until my mid 60's or maybe even 70s/80s if I can push it.
So that being said I am getting the surgery in a few months, normally I would post for prayers a few days or weeks before surgery (And I probably will make another topic closer to my surgery) but my surgery may get bumped up anyway and I was looking for support and prayers on this. Has anyone ever gotten weight loss surgery before and it been successful? I really don't want to go under the knife unless I 1. Have to and 2. Have God to guide me through this so that I can be a success. I've always told myself that my goal is 250-300 lbs but if I get weight loss surgery I can maybe get down to 180 pounds and get a majority of my health risks taken care of. Instead of rolling the dice every year and seeing what medical condition I have this time. The last time it was life threatening blood clots I can't even imagine what would come next. I just... don't want to think about it. Going under the knife is a good idea...

I had something similar. I was in vtech and they went into my heart to do an abrasion and found a blood clot. So they increased my blood thinner and the ultrasound showed that it worked. Even though I was very sick I did get better. They do not really open the heart. They go in through the groin. At least my doctor does.When they put me under they went looking for the clot and couldn't find it, it turns out God had completely healed the blood clot and left my other clots there.

The most important thing you should be focused on is creating a new food paradigm. Which begins with eating food that's nourishing and beneficial for your body. A smaller stomach doesn't alter your relationship with food or increase your knowledge. Lack of mobility wasn't the lone contributor. But what you ate while being immobile was more harmful and that's what has to change.
Diet soda is awful and aspartame causes problems. Sparkling water is a better substitute. Be mindful of white sugar. It fattens rats and humans. You need the organic version.
The pouch can stretch and will naturally. But if you overeat the stomach will accommodate as it does without modification. Weight loss is mental. The surgery is a tool to combat your urge to eat. But you'll still have to develop portion control, a better diet and some form of movement.
Relying on restriction for self-control will hasten your progress. You must confront the consequences and determine continuance is unacceptable and learn to say no. The stomach responds to habits. If you feed it a certain amount it demands the same. When you eat less it complains initially and falls in line afterward.
Fitness wise you'll lose more with a bike in the long run than a treadmill. You can start with one at home until you build up your strength and can go outdoors. Research the term clydesdale. It's for larger riders and there's a lot of information available. You may want to start a thread in the health forum. The people who post there are pretty knowledgeable and supportive. Some use it for accountability.
Good luck with the procedure and remain in prayer throughout.

I'm not concerned about the mostly meat diet that they're going to be sticking me on for the rest of my life. But I am concerned about those two things I mentioned extremely.
And this mindful eating crap they've been trying to force down my throat. I've been trying to bullcrap my way through that one because I not only don't understand it but I don't care about it.
