I have to be honest, I haven't been told to go on my soft diet and I began to eat saltine crackers. I have lost32 pounds already and have been walking. When would I be able to exercise?

I have been walking 2 miles a day on the treadmill, eating 3 meals and 2 Snacks ( usually a Protein bar) I drink lots of crystal light all day. I'm going to start back to Zumba next week.

I travel a lot for work, so food can be a challenge. I make all my food with me for the week. I've been making all recipes in muffin tins for Portion Control.< /p>

I know the lack of exercise is what made me "fluffy" to begin with. As much as I loathe to exercise , I have to admit it has made a huge difference. Plus I feel great after I do it. Once you get into a routine you will get into it!

Hey all. I too had my surgery on 10/1. I'm down 35 lbs total from the beginning of my 2 week pre op diet till today. 18 lbs from day of surgery. I began walking 8 hrs after surgery and I try to walk everyday. I was cleared at my one week post op for salsa dancing and I now dance twice a week. Looking forward to getting cleared for lifting weights in another 3.5 weeks.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
