i am planning on spending the day outside if I can it is beautiful and I want to be out in it. i will be pulling weeds probably most of the day. is that considered exercise ?????

I was wondering what types of exercise everyone does after surgery. i love to walk and and dance.

I'm not sure yet. I have an appointment with a hormone doctor in about a month and from there we will decide when to do the banding. I hope within the next three months though.

Keep me posted and all!

I've had the lap band since january and lately I haven't been exercising much. I need to get on that, but i will share with you what i've been doing when I exercise. I have an elliptical at home and have gotten up to 35 minutes and about 4.5-6.0 mph when I do that. I have a bicycle exerciser too and I rarely use that because I feel like it doesn't do enough for me but I have used it occasionally. I have dance work out videos and I enjoy those because I love dancing. I have an exercise ball that I love to use to do crunches, push ups and wall squats. =) I have lost 51 lbs since the beginning of all of this. =)

Hi There

I have just bought a Vibration Plate which is supposed to tone up flabby areas on a regular usage 3 times a day 10 min sessions... Good reports on the Exercises from feedback . Just a bit concerned on whether all this vibration will shake my band out of position.. Anyone know anything or can advise on this ,, I cannot walk far as I have a back injury but can use this which seems successful for others..

The Band is the issue for me? Help!!!!

Donna i know all Drs are different but make sure you get you excerise cleared with your Dr. My surgery was April 12th,2011 and all I can do is walk right now. All they say is walk,and I am, 2 miles 2x a day. My first fill is May 11th so i hope I can go to regular food and let me do more excerise. Im planning on buying a gazelle next weekend.. I love working in the yard to.

I have permission from my lapband doctor and my reg doctor, and I haven't really started walking yet , but I am in the morning. I have my alarm set for 6:15 for watching the sunrise, drinking my first cup of coffee, the by 8 I am ready for my walk, 9 it is time to shower and dress for the day. Breakfast right after that. then I start my housecleaning, and after that I spend the afternoon out side in the yard working, By 6 I am taking another walk, after that I work out on my exercise equipment for an hour, then shower and dinner and rest the rest of the night.

I have 3 reminders on my phone and 2 on the alarm setting. I will start in the morning. I have to I am not really losing anymore. And I really need to.

I've had to change up my exercise routine a bit. I am now doing boot camp classes 2 -3 times a week plus jogging a 5k twice a week as well as my kickboxing twice a week and conditioning 2-3 times a week. Right now I have a hurt shoulder so I am limiting the amount of weight training im doing but increased the cardio.

Next appt May 16th
