At my one week post op' date=' my doc said that I was cleared to do any exercise except stomach crunches.[/quote']

I went for my 3 week post-op check up and my doc said that it was okay for me to start walking. I'd been doing a little of that anyway. But I officially started today for about 15 minutes. I feel good. A little tired but good.

Today the weather was perfect. Went for a walk at the lake which went on .. for 5.5 miles. I will be 4 weeks out tomorrow.. started exercising a week ago. Not lifting any weights for now, but planning to do so soon. Actually feeling really good. On Tuesday will be starting soft food. Taking all my Vitamins makes a big difference for me.

It takes time. Some people lose quicker than others. My weight loss is gradual. Not what I expected but I have started walking so that will help a lot. I don't want to lose weight too fast and look sick. Not everyone knows I've had the surgery and I want to keep it that way.

I just hope more pounds start dropping off. But gradually. It feels good to get out of the apartment and off the couch. My niece noticed that I have lost a few pounds :) it feels good to know that people notice.

I can't keep down the chewable vitamins. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've just been taking the liquid.< /p>

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
