I have been walking on the treadmill since the day I got home from the hospital. I was careful not to push it, went for longer time instead of higher intensity. Now (8 days out) I'm bumping up intensity a bit every day. Walking is good for you after this surgery. You should be walking very day I think

I walked as soon as I was home as well. Either outside or on the treadmill. Just about 15 minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.

I have been walking everyday but I want to go to the gym I usually walk for 40-60 min on an incline...I could go and just walk no incline, no crazy speed...I knew walking was good I just wasn't sure how much :) thanks everyone!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
