Now! :) You should be doing plenty of walking, without overdoing it. No heavy lifting for 6 weeks - so no deadlifts at the gym ;)

I just called my doctor's office, the nurse informed me the treadmill would be fine but not more than 30 minutes for the first week. After that I could up it a little each time. Originally, they told me to wait six weeks but I am not losing - hit a stall. I told her I'm eating 800 calories or less a day and not losing, I need to exercise.

In fact, taking my lunch break (I work at home) and getting on the treadmill now.

      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! 😞
