I started simple cardio on a stationary bike. Now, I ride 11 miles in 30 minutes, 4 days a week. I've also added strength training....I was sleeved March 2nd.

I am 4 weeks post op and am still really really weak. How did you start working out. Any ideas other than walking? I have resistant bands and ball 2lb weights and a hula hoop.

I was also still very weak at 4 weeks post op. What you are experiencing is quite common. Don't let it worry you, because now I have more energy than I know what to do with. ;) Just start slow, take your time building yourself up. You will get to a point where you're doing a lot more and soon. Walking and stationary bikes, even ellipticals should be fine for you right now.

Wow you are really fast on that stationary bike! My best 10M time is just under 32 Minutes. Good job!

Growth won't happen until you look inside yourself, accept you're human and make changes. I don't lie to myself. I take my faults and negatives, throw it out to the Universe and like a boomerang it ALWAYS comes back to me making me stronger and more positive. <3 Good morning Vertical Sleeve Talk!! Whatever you do today, do the right thing.

For without honesty there cannot be healing. Without healing there will never be growth. And without growth we will always be doomed to keep making those same mistakes.

Yes you can drink Slim Fast shakes... though I would encourage perhaps another option. They are very high in sugar. Have you tried the Atkins RTD? I find them very tasty :)

To LOSE the weight, you will have to GAIN: Strength, Motivation, Determination, A willing mind, An unyielding heart, An unfailing spirit, and constant thankfulness for all the goodness in your life. You must FEED yourself daily with healthy nourishment, Water, positive words, love, physical activity and encouragement & being lead in the right direction from your supporters, whoever they are.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
