I survived............
1.5 hours of Bikhram Yoga this morning.....
Holy hell that is one hot room! About halfway through I thought I may barf my guts out! The instructor told me that the goal in your first class was not to worry about the posture but just to manage the mind within the heat. He said a lot of people start to panic and freak out after 15 minutes. I clearly could not do all of the postures with my still obese body but I did about 1/3 of them, tried my hardest on another 1/3 and just skipped the last 1/3. I thought I would die but I survived and I felt great afterward!
Here is a picture of me afterward! It hardly tells the story since this is about an hour afterward! I was drenched head to toe in sweat! Ignore the terrible bags under my eyes...I had been at a late night wedding the night prior!
I swore that this surgery would open the door to me stepping outside of my social anxiety and trying new things! Yay me!

This reminds me of the craze of exercising with saran wrap on to increase sweating. All it did was increase electrolyte disturbances.
Congratulations on surviving.

Could someone tell me what a VSG is?? Thanks
" Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, a bag of chips in one hand, glass of wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO what a ride".
