Ok so its been almost a year after my surgery and I have lost 80 pounds. However, even after being consistent with my gym I've started to sag a lot; particularly around my breast and even my thighs and arms Has anyone undergone similar problems? Need some suggestions? I really dont want to opt for another surgery...

Going through all the posts and replies here I have a question how long does your stalls usually last My scale haven't moved at all since 3 weeks nor have I lost in inches Is that a normal stall duration or is there something seriously wrong? ?

Hi Im in desperate need of advice I had my sleeve surgery done in April (almost three months now) However, both my surgeon and my nutritionist did not advice me much on exercising. The most I got from them was to begin with a bit of a walk (that also when I felt I was ready for it) I have lost 28Ibs without any sort of exercise but now I feel I really need to get started ...need to boost that weight loss. Can someone advice me on what sort of exercise I should begin with , how many times a week and for how long.... I would love to hear about others exercise routines Im open to suggestions

@@scarlet333 do you do the elliptical for one hour in one go? how frequently do you take a break? I have started with the elliptical but feel breathless in just 10 min and have to stop for a few before I continue.... However, I did come to realize that nothing stationary keeps me motivated. So im looking into working with a personal trainer.... after 3 long discussions we begin tomorrow so quite excited and nervous

Had my first yoga class yesterday. It was great...better then what I expected. However because of some of the meditation poses or stretches I have this stinging pain in my lower stomach (like just below the belly button) Is that the normal pain that you feel when you exercise or move around for the first time or is that the sleeve pain that doctors warn you about???? Sort of confused here Especially since I'll be adding circuit training to my routine as well from Monday? Any advice? Did anyone felt that sort of pain when they began???

Thank you guys for your overwhelming support @@erp Im already 3 months down..well almost with hardly any exercise done so far so I was planning on starting with with yoga first and after a week or two into it I plan to hire a personal trainer as well....what do you think? @swimbikeru The problem is that Ive never been a fitness freak my entire life probably because every gym I tried is surrounded by mirrored walls that ended up depressing me more then helping me.So honestly I still have to figure out what I really enjoy @@SandyM ...when did you begin with your weight training? My doctor has asked me to stay away from weights till 6 months post op (esp since I never tried weights before) @Chelly" All the best with your results Also I wanted to know what helps the most with loosing the stomach pouch.... strength, cardio, resistance??? what are you guys doing? So far all my weight loss has been around my neck, shoulders and back

Thanks.Marmello Trying my best not to fret too much about it. I dont expect 20 pounds every month but a decent 3-4 pounds would certainly be nice. I guess i just want the scale to keep moving rather then being stuck

Hi I had my gastric sleeve surgery on April 10. Since then I lost 10kgs (20 Ibs) in the first month. I seem to be stuck on 95 kgs since May. Has anyone faced weight loss plateau in just their second month after surgery? Im eating according to the diet prescribed and no more then 1200 calories a day. I would really appreciate other's insights or anyone else who seemed to be facing similar problem? Thanks Karen

what made you get past that stall Anababy?

Thanks joatsaint Its quite a relief to know Im not the only one How long did these plateaus last for you? Did you do anything differently to get passed by them?
