So i am getting sleeved in 10 days and I have à question for my fellow pré or post op sleevers, Do you feel like exercise slows the weight loss down? I am à nurse, i know exercise is great for you for many reasons, but i know now à days if i just diet i lose more in a week, then when i go hard at the gym. What do you guys think?

Well, that depends on your goal... If you aspire to weigh less yet be flabby and out of shape, then please don't exercise. Lol, sorry, I thought this was a funny question.

We all know muscles weighs more than fat, but I'd rather have 10 more lbs of muscle than 5 of fat. For me the answer is easy, I want to be healthy. This includes cardiovascular and muscle strength training.

Congrats on your soon- to- be sleeve!!

Good luck!

Work out!

I know two people (one on this board) who don't exercise and are successful and maintaining. You have to do what works for you. I'd recommend exercise - as you said yourself, you already know why.

Eventually your body will become acclimated to the diet. You will have a very difficult time continuing to lose weight if you don't start an exercise program. The key is both diet and exercise.

Thanks guys, just wanted to hear your thoughts. I am going to def exercise.
