We all have some *feelings* about movement. For many of us, movement was (or is) a punishment for eating decisions that were not aligned with our goals. We were determined to work off that bad decision one grueling mile or rep after another and rarely saw any lasting results. To find long-term success before and after bariatric surgery, movement must become a part of our lives. So how do we shift from a place of resistance and dread to a place of joy and celebration?

In this episode, our friends and fellow patients Dalton and Rob share with us how they have embraced movement as a part of their identities and how their stumbles and “failures” led them to a newfound commitment to themselves and consistent routines centered around movement.
