HEY EVERYONE! im getting sleeved on friday the 20th in NYC and i have two questions! If anyone could help that would be great. My first question is if it's bad to do some type of cardio exercise everyday? I mean my doctor just said a 3-5 times a week but id be really willing to run or jog everyday because it's the summer, and i'm pretty much free!

Also how much did everyone lose in their first three months? At the end of the summer im going to europe and i just wanna know roughly how much wight id lose? Im 5'7 and i weigh 275 now and i have to lose 5 more pounds before friday (which, surprisingly, im not too worried about!). I know everyone is different with losing weight but i was just hoping to get an estimate! thanks so much! =D Im just SOOOOOOO excited that all of this is happening. I've waited such a long time and im extremely happy!

I don't think it's a bad idea at all to do cardio everyday, though I suppose it depends on your definition of cardio. Moderate exercise is good. I say go for it, if your joints and energy level will let you.

As for weight loss after 3 months, I am a lightweight and my surgery weight was 232. I lost 40 lbs in three months, you probably will lose more. There was a post-op calculator on OH that I bookmarked, you might want to check it out: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/information/post+op+planner.php

Hi, I just finished my first month post-op and i lost 23 pounds...

My doc told me: "exercise as much as possible, and eat as few calories as possible." He's probably not the norm, but I don't think it will hurt to do cardio every day if you want to. I would NOT, however, lift weights for the first three months as there can be a risk of hernia doing that. I can't remember exactly what I'd lost in the first 3 months, but I think I was at 50 lbs lost at that point. Hope that helps!

I started at a higher weight and I have 1 week to go to my 3rd month but so far since my surgery I have lost 50 lbs (I lost 16 lbs on my one week pre op diet which would make that 66 lbs lost total). This is my weight as of last week because I weigh (for recording) myself on Mondays (and that is tomorrow). I have not started exercising yet I was waiting for my 3rd month.

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and so far I've lost 35lbs to date. My doctor recommends that you do at least 30 to 45 minutes of exercise daily. I'm doing cardio or strength training daily as I think it's really helping with the weight loss. Good luck to you!

Hi, I am 5'2 1/2" and was 200lbs on the day of my surgery I averaged a little more then 10lbs a month the first five months. I started walking the first week but did not go out until I was a month out. I am now walking 7 miles a day five days a week. My body needs one day off a week to prevent injuries but that may be just me.
