You should get clearance from doc for exercise, and I recommend a personal trainer. There are way more effective exervises than sit ups that are easier to perform. They still fatigue the ab muscles but don't strain the neck and back like a sit up. Even one month with a trainer to get you started would be a wonderful idea. Good luvk!!

Just discuss with your surgeon. Mine told me that there wasn't any exercise I could do that would injure the band.

Mine told me to NEVER do situps.

Sit ups are the last exercise I would introduce because of the strain they put on the abdominal muscles. I would wait a LEAST a month after surgery to start doing them.

      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?

      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! 😞
