Hi, I have a friend that just had Bariatric Surgery, I believe she had the sleeve done if I remember correctly and she has been post op for 3.5 weeks now. I noticed she only walks around the inside of her apartment, and that's about it. She has literally spent her time watching TV, gaming, and watching YouTube on foods she's planning on eating after she's ok to have regular food again. Of course, aside from doing things outside the house like getting groceries, that's really the only she puts any effort into walking or just doing anything. She has gone on short walk 3 times with the dog since the surgery (no big deal...Wasn't expecting her to run a half marathon) I'm trying to be supportive but seeing her choose gaming and other tasks (where sitting down is primary) over exercise is starting to worry me. She does express when she's in pain and I completely understand and I tell her to relax and take it easy, but it's driving me insane on how irresponsible (I guess we can call it that) she is being. She's doing the shakes as required, started the soft foods stage, and has quickly learned (4-5 times already) that she can't eat as much as she used to. I don't want to be harsh considering she did have the procedure done...But where is the line drawn between being supportive and wanting HER to be proactive?? I suggested to her to maybe start off using 5 lb weights to start doing something, and she hasn't touched them at all. Please help. Should I give her more time? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
