I had surgery on May 26th and am going to the gym for the first time today. Think of it this way...the more you go to the gym the faster you lose the weight and tone up! Good Luck!

Do it! See if you like it. If not, just find an activity you really love. I'd been going to the gym for years. Got really comfortable on the elliptical. Then I gave in to my friend who kept telling me to try kickboxing. Well I found that I LOVE that. I tried going to the gym after I'd been doing it for a few weeks and found I was bored. I do kickboxing now usually 6 days a week.

The only thing I could do to get motivated is have someone go with me. My dad works out every single morning and has been wanting to me to get to the gym so badly. So I finally told him I could join up if he would go with me every afternoon and be my personal trainer. He agreed. We start today!

Oh...and I went shopping and got some cute workout clothes. That helped too. ;)

GOOD LUCK!

Try a class at the gym or getting a personal trainer. Try going 2-3 days a week and build yourself up from there. Take at least a day break in between until you start working your way up. You can do this, just take it slow and work your way up there.

Sweetpea, make sure you check with your Dr about going to a gym this early after surgery. I couldnt do anything but walk for 6 weeks. You dont want your band to slip.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
