Sleeved 5/28, and I have been just walking, using stairs parking at back of parking lot so I walk further. What im wondering is when we can start exercising and how much, should I be doing more now? I see my dr on Monday but just wanted to ask.

There's not really a set timetable for activity. Everyone is so different. I was sleeved on a Tuesday and was back in the gym and the job the following Monday. I only had a lifting restriction of no more than 10lbs, but other than that I could pretty much do what I wanted to do. I would say do what you feel like doing and do a little more each day.

I would wait and ask the doc first.. my doc wouldnt let me have any gym until I was almost 3mo out.. and then ive only done cardio... and I was out of work for 17 days.. per my doctor..and when I went back I was on a lift restriction also.. so every one and every doc is different.. Im glad my doc plays it safe in making sure that stomach does not get damaged at all.. all is good now.. ive been to the gym now and my cardio workout is complete and Im getting ready to start weight training.. but as for now.. your best exercise is walk walk walk... best of luck to you on your new journey. :)

My dr gave me no restriction just said whenever I felt comfortable so I have been exercising since a week out.

I just had my follow up yesterday with my Dr and he said I have no restrictions anymore and can work out and even swim. I was surprised and also sleeved on 5/28. Hopefully your Dr says something similar to you on Monday!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
