question for you:

Do you still have staples/sutures? if yes then no swimming or weights or treadmill work.

You can however take light walks and trust me you will work up a sweat just doing that

I don't have staples, they said I have steristips but I can't see anything besides black scar things. Lol I don't plan to swim but I'd like to do some light treadmill soon and light weights for my arms :/

I think everyone is different. I was banded on 10/5 and my surgeon told me no working out until 10/22 which includes brisk walking or any treadmill work, no swimming for 8 weeks' and to take it easy. I also have steristrips. My 2 week post op appointment is on Friday.

I was told no lifting 10+ pounds and light walks. I was banded 10/9.

I was banded 10/5. I am supposed to walk 20 min 3x a day. A bit much so I only do it twice. I was told that treadmill was last option because you put more force on you abdomin with treadmill vs street walking ( no pun intended!)

A 5k? You should be alright by then. Just don't try to go to fast.

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
