What are the most effective workout techniques to losing weight? The pounds come off quicker if you're active. I need to be more active.

I'm going to start Rockin Body and do the modified version... I've also been doing Wii Fit and skipping anything with abs

I think I'm going to wait till Tuesday at my 2 week check up to see what doctor recommends me to do besides walking. This is major surgery and you don't want to push yourself. I have days where I'm still tired and days when I feel energized. Just don't need to over do it when feeling energized this early in the game.

I agree.

I agree.

I was told no exercising until I was 6 weeks post op. To me, that sounds about right in order to give the body time to heal.

Ok it's officially 7 days since my surgery. My direction is to not go to the next level of foods until 10 days. I feel depressed. I'm so over drinking. I'd like to have some applesauce or pudding or mashed potatoes. I'm having a super difficult time getting in enough calories. :-(. I seen a post where she could move on to the mushy foods by now. I don't know...maybe this is part of the process. Feeling depressed that is. I just want to sleep. I don't have the energy to get out and exercise like I know I should. Just ranting. I'll get over it I'm sure.

I felt that way too! It will get better!

At my one week post op, my doc said that I was cleared to do any exercise except stomach crunches.

I wasnt tired the first week but actually weak. My doc said that it was bc my calorie intake was so low and had changed so fast.
