Just curious who thinks you can.

Yes after WLS you most certainly can but it is not ideal. I have a close friend that has exceeded goal with little to no exercise and has kept the weight off for almost four years after her surgery. I have not exercised very much so far but am starting a program tomorrow. During the last visit with my surgeon, he more or less demanded that I start doing so because I am losing muscle. I've not lost a lot of weight but now everything...moves...and it is very disturbing. I am used to being fat but very firm and this movement is not sitting well with me.

I hate to admit but I haven't buckled down yet and really exercised. I've hit the treadmill only a few times, but have tried to keep moving more. Also been doing a lot of household chores with all this new energy, also lots of yard work. I was sleeved July 18 and so far the weightloss has been good. But with this being said I do need to get serious about doing weights and toning.

I had surgery one day prior to you and am amazed at the loss listed on your ticker! What is your secret?

anybody can loose weight on a 500 to 800 calorie a day diet without exercise, but you will be very flabby. the more muscle you have the faster you burn calories.

(Whats a ticker? How do you copy someones message down to yours?) I'm trying to walk and lifting weights a little but dont have time to spend hours at the gym.

Wendy,

The ticker is the weight-loss picture at the bottom of the post. If you click your name in the top right-hand side, you can set one up.

Thank you so much. Maybe I have the quote/reply figured out. Still working on the ticker. Had to use the website didn't see any of this on the app.

I have had 2 knee replacements one year before my surgery and walking isn't a good calorie burning exercise yet but I go to water exercises classes three times a week .

I was 288 at surgery, I eat mostly lean Protein. I try to stay away from carbs as much as possible because they make me crave more:). I also do not have a thyroid and have always been slow at losing because of it, so I too am surprised and happy:)

I quite agree to this, we can still lose weight even without exercise but with exercise, we can attain or see the results faster.

I myself can lose weight without exercising, maybe because I have fast metabolism and also, I don't eat a lot. There are times that I think of gaining weight

Why are you here then?

YES of course you can! The reverse is also true in that you can exercise a lot and not lose any weight.

Weight loss is MUCH more tied to diet than it is to exercise. Of course exercise is essential for optimal health so we all should be doing it regardless of if it helps us attain our weight goals.

You can definitely lose a lot of weight without exercising. My.mom has lost 115 since June without it.just doing basic cleaning and being a mom to lose it.
