I live in Texas, so I opened mine two weeks ago, and the weather has been cooperating beautifully!

Please speak with your doctor. I was allowed back at the pool at 2 week. I was doing lap swimming; I would be careful about doing agressive Water aerobics for a few more weeks.

I was not allowed until six weeks after, which was this past week. I also live in texas and we have a pool. It has been torture watching the family swim without me, :)

my dr said a month and then start exercising gently. i started with slow Water fitness classes and really like them. i go 4 days a week, they really help with weight loss in my mid section, but i was completely surprised when too tight shirts started to fit well too. .Pushing those foam water weights is really a workout !! Down 30 lbs in 3.5 months ! Woo hoo !!

      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.
