Welcome!
It's nice to hear from someone else that has had a relatively easy time so far. I was starting to worry that maybe I was just a FREAK! LOL.
I was sleeved on Jan. 31st 2012. Feel free to friend me!

Um, Lissa, IDK that I'm that person however.... here's my thoughts:
Maybe it's just getting the movement "down"? I have used the elliptical for about 9 years now and I'm a total addict (I was doing 5 miles a day, 5 times a week prior to surgery even!).
I still remember the first times whenever I couldn't do more than 7 minutes. It did kick butt. It's alot of movement and you have to find your groove PLUS you have to remember to breathe.
I encourage you to stick to it... and remember it takes 21 days to make a habit. Do three minutes then add a minute or two each time on it.... keep it up and whammy, you finally get to more time than you thought! (oh and my ipod has to be on to plow thru the routines)
Oh and btw, I still can't jog.. THAT killllllllllls me!

I'm sorry if this sounds mean.. not my intention... but...... Like the rest of us, you were sick of being overweight and unhealthy so you opted to have the surgery. Make the commitment and FOLLOW YOUR DIET!! I am 10 days post op and I was on clears for 4 days then to full liquids such shakes, drinkable yogurt, cream Soups (no chunks) etc....) I am STILL on this stage and will be until 3 weeks post op. Maybe I'm so gung ho about following my diet because I was a self pay and I refuse to let my hard earned money be wasted.. I dunno. This is a mental journey just as it is physical! I have a calendar that my surgeon provided that tells me every day what stage of food I can eat. How long did your surgeon tell you that you needed to be on clears?? If anything, reach out to your surgeon and ask if you can add shakes or soups but follow your Dr's orders. You just had 75-80% of your stomach removed!! It has to have time to heal. The last thing you want to do is eat something you shouldn't be eating.
Good Luck!
