Made it to 10,000 steps today...first time post surgery



Recommended Posts

I am 3 1/2 weeks out and although, I got to 10,000 steps today...admittedly, I don't see that happening every day at this point because I am not fast. Even if I was cleared for running, my running would be the speed of someone else's "walking." But, I still feel good that I am getting there...

hey, that's great! I think the main thing is your moving.

I haven't had surgery yet, but my pedometer has become my faithful sidekick. I aim for 10,000 steps or more per day......then when I saw the NUT she said 12,000.

Well, since I have been averaging 8,000-9,000 steps, 10,000 was an accomplishment. I work out on an elliptical machine or treadmill for an hour averaging 3.5 miles per hour and that does NOT get me to 10,000 steps. So, I will have to get faster (more efficient) if 10,000 or 12,000 are the numbers to get to.

I literally got my fitbit 5 minutes ago. Husband ordered it weeks ago but it was on back order! If I figure it out, I will try to friend both of you fitbitters. In the meantime, I have a more regular pedometer keeping track of my steps.

      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! 😞
