Couple of typos: First line is "Doesn't help I've never done any in my life . . .", or so I'm guessing.

Just chuffed to announce I've lost 66lbs since 9th of August! Op was on the 23rd of August. Still a long way to go but off to a good start! 155lbs to go How far in are you guys?

Why do we all take about food so much.....who cares about eating eggs

I'm 3 weeks post op.

I had a bypass 5 weeks ago and have noticed a massive difference in my sleep pattern I have severe osa and am hoping it'll clear up as I shift the weight. Can't wait to hear my partner say I slept silently

Hi there! I was in the same boat as you, not having exercised since my mid 20s (fifty years old now). I was not completely inactive given it's impossible to get around NYC and the subways without climbing stairs and walking.

The best thing to start is to walk and take stairs. If you have hills walk at inclines. Walk at a pace that gets your heart rate up. This assumes you have no joint issues and are cleared by your doctor to do so.

I was interested in developing strength and flexibility so I hired a trainer given I probably had a pretty good shot at injuring myself without learning proper movements and form.

I got lucky and found someone who owns a small boutique studio who is trained and educated in different disciplines. Two months later I am without question stronger, more flexible and have better balance.

As others will tell you what drives the weight loss is diet. However as the weight has come off I can now work on my other things I would like to accomplish with my well being.

Hey everyone I am coming up 5 weeks post op and a bit confused about exercise. Doesn't help I've never dobe any in my fine but whilst laid on my sofa decided I feel fit enough now I realised I have not been told what to do or given any tips! I vaguely remember reading a pamphlet pre op about getting in 20mins walking a day which I do strive for but... Barely gets my heart rate up. What kinds of things does everyone do? Any useful links or tips? I have a treadmill ( I'm about 11lbs to heavy for the reccomend weight though) but otherwise it'll just be my body moving. Thanks.

I respect your choice and understand to a degree but I feel you're not doing yourself justice by hiding away. You need to be proud of your choice and proud you've decided to be healthy. There is nothing wrong with what you're doing and only by telling people and explaining can you teach their ignorance if they do react badly. At the end of the day it's your body and your choice and I think it's a shame to have to hide how much work you're doing to be a better you.

Hey I was wondering if people that had the op in the early 20s had a better chance of not having so much excess skin,?

Hey would be lovely to have people to talk to. Had my op 23rd of August this year. Great to be able to compare with someone on or around my date

Maybe it's just a stall I wouldn't panic.
