Do/did you exercise?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 12/13. Feeling good, not sure I'm eating enough but want to start exercising. Do you exercise? To those who have met goal, did you? How often?

P.s. weight: pre opt diet 221

Surgery day 215

This morning 204.

My doc said to walk at least a mile a day starting two weeks before surgery and everyday afterwards. He insisted that we walk a mile as soon as we could and kept a chart in our rooms to mark the number of laps around the hospital floor. I just got off the treadmill and went about half a mile but I got dizzy so I stopped. Maybe too much considering the number of calories I'm taking in? I was sleeved on the 18th.

I will try a little more each day.

I would, at the very least, try to walk an hour 3 days out of the week. If you can, try light weights on the days you don't walk. This is a lifetime condition so take it on your own pace but do try maintain some sort of routine.

I started exercising a week out going for long walks. Now at 6 weeks out I run and play tennis and do some strengthening exercises also at least 5 days a week.

I was told to walk at least 30 minutes a day, but wasn't given a distance. I used my neighbor's treadmill yesterday and walked almost 3/4 of a mile in 30 minutes. I was dizzy getting off, which surprised me because I could do 2 miles in 30 minutes before surgery. I'm just going to take it slow, until I see my doc on jan 2nd. I was sleeved one day before you... The 17th.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
