I am so excited and eagerly awaiting my surgery on June 12th! I do however, have a couple of questions...... 1. How soon did you all start exercising after surgery? 2. Was/is the "mental" part hard for you?

Congrats on your date! I am getting my band June 22nd!

My friend was banded May 11th and I was at her appointment. The surgeon said to start walking right away, even if it is just a little bit you need to get moving. I know you cant swim until atleast a week afterwards but I think for anything else it would just be what you feel you are up to doing. No one knows your body better than you do!

Good luck!!

Congrats to you! My surgery is set for June 26, 2012 (though I'm trying to get it moved to an earlier date...we'll see).

Thanks AlleyKat! That makes perfect sense. :) My doctor said the same thing, as far as starting walking right away to deal with soreness, prevent bloodclots, etc. But I was wondering the approximate time of when everyone started with other stuff like aerobics, weight lifting, etc. But what you said as far as no one knows our body like we do is exactly right. I just never thought of it that way I guess. :)

Congrats on your date too! And good luck!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
