I had surgery on 02/16/12 and as of today I'm down a whopping 34 lbs. A Yeah! I started at 295 and I'm down to 261 (10 lbs preop) well anyway I noticed that I've been on a stall for the last week

:-( also my Dr hasn't cleared me for any real exercise yet. My surgery went great no real pain no meds to take home afterwards so I've been blessed. I went back too work 4 days after surgery (stayed in the hospital 2 days). I'm thinking I should start an exercise routine. Any suggestions?

I had surgery on 2/27/12 and my incisions are healed, and I started Water arobics yesterday. The water keeps you boyant so there is no real strain on your belly and incisions.

Please listen to your doctor. The last thing you want is to have troubles. If you really want to ex erode, walk. Walk everywhere. It'll give you some cardio without too much strain. But listen to your doctor.

Walk Walk Walk just like fern said. Also follow your diet. In 6 to 7 months you will be 100 pounds lighter!

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I cam tell you from experience don't push yourself too fast. It can cause other problems. I didn't listen to my Dr. After my hysterectomy because I felt Good and ended up with an incisional hernia. Not good! I had to have another surgery soon after to fix that. Please be careful. Good luck.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
