Just wondering. I play ice hockey and have considered the lap band surgery. I weight about 245, and want to get down to about 175-180. Ive done the diet thing, and i play hockey, but literally the only way i lose weight is to go on nothing but an all salad diet. My metabolism is just horrible. I eat less then half of what my brother eats, I exercise, and I stay heavy, i have a huge stomach, the rest of me looks fine. I dont understand why exactly, but its just too damn hard to starve myself in order to lose weight. Like I said i play hockey, and i want to continue to play hockey. So my question is, will this stop me from playing it? i dont play check hockey, but you do get bumped, you fall to the ice frequently, you slam into the boards...crap happens. to me hockey is more important than my weight, so if its something i have to give up, then ill live with the weight.

DUDE! calm down. I just saw your post or I would have responded earlier!

Once you have healed from surgery you can continue to play hockey. I was concerned about similar things...I live in alabama so there is not a lot of hockey going on down here, but I kayak and do lots of other high adventure activities.

I had asked my surgeon if I could go roller skating 3 weeks post op and he said no, but when I went for my last check up, he said, I could do what ever I wanted and that I was not limited from any activity.

My advice is make an appointment and discuss it w/ your doctor.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
