(Exercise) Being sleeved June 21st :)

[colcol 128]

Initially after the sleeve do you lose weight without exercise ? I know I will have to start but its hard when your 275 lbs:( . I really want to get to a place where it's not so hard to exercise and make it part of my life. Please can anyone that has had the surgery give me your story on how much weight you lost without exercise ?? Thank you

I have seen many people on here lose quite a bit without upping their exercise at all. So I think as long as you get your foods pretty close to where you need to be you will get where you want to begin your workouts.

Me personally I have begun walking as much as I can muster (I'm 11 days post) and will continue adding more each day until I'm cleared to workout

HA! I was going to say you won't see to many people here that did it without exercise!

Listen in the early stages you will drop weight, but at some point exercise will become necessary not only for weight loss but to help tone up too.

Walking is something that most of us can do.

If you don't want to do it in public buy a used treadmill off of Craigslist.

I had my surgery 2 days after my 66th birthday. I weighed 275 and could not do much exercise. I am 6 months out now and lost 69 lbs without exercise. Now it is getting harder to lose. So it is possible, because I did it. At some point like me you will have to exercise. By the way I am on insulin and that makes it harder to lose also.

Best of luck. Do what you can but most important follow the recommended diet.

I have physical limitations due to extensive neurosurgery but have used physical therapy 3x weekly as part of my exercise regiment. I also have an easy cycle, elliptical and a Pilates machine to help with my workout but have not been cleared to use the elliptical by my doctor as of yet. Even with the limited exercise, I have lost 69lbs in 14 weeks. Doing something like walking help tremendously especially now that the weather is warm.
