To Bike or Not To Bike?

I'm 6 weeks post-op and have had no complications. Does anyone know if I can start using an exercise bike?

At my 2 week they checked my incisions and said yes

I am 5 weeks out and riding a stationary bike.

I started riding the bike 4 weeks post op. I just can't do stuff like sit-ups or heavy lifting (even though i started weights too)

I'm six weeks out. Was approved to exercise at two weeks. I have been riding an hour per day for four weeks with good results. Good luck and congrats!

I'm 7 weeks out and I've only lost 33 pounds. Would you mind telling me what your diet is like? I find that I can eat so much more than others. Probably about a cup of chili, 5oz of chicken, and other foods all in excess. How much food do you eat? You seem to have great weight loss results!

Isn't 7 weeks/33 lbs good? Was is the expected weight loss after 2 months?

I'm not really sure what the expected loss is, but by 8 weeks I was hoping to be down 40 pounds. I know these things take time, but maybe I'm just too impatient!

It's a myth that most sleevers can only eat 1 or 2 bites after surgery. Those are the stories we remember, but plenty of people can eat more like what you describe....I could, and I think I've lost a fair amount of weight. Just remember, you don't have to eat your sleeve's limit. Weigh those portions and stop there. You won't be full, but you won't be hungry and you'll lose weight just the same.

I had the sleeve 4 months ago. I cant eat but a few bites. I mean even small shrimp maybe 5 or 6 and that is all nothing else with it,
