Surgery 6/4. Came home 6/5. Been in my night gown since I got home, try to get walking around the house. Got 6 walks yesterday at 5 mins each. Today I decided to get up, get dressed and walk outside. I made it 13 mins, and was so discouraged !!!!

Don't get discourage take it one day at a time!!

It gets better everyday.. This site is helpful and very supportive.. Use it!! Any time of day!! We can all get thru this!! Take care of yourself- physically and mentally!!

It does get better. Hang in there... I'm 1wk post-up today. I'm still walking slow but I will speed it up by tomorrow.

I got 30 mins in today of walking. I know as long as I work at this and do as I am told the weight will come off !!!

Yes it's true

Wow you came home quick! Give yourself a chance just keep at it. The first week is the worst. Sounds like your doing great though:-). Don't be so hard on your self.

Just do the best you can. I haven't been able to exercise very much, and it is depressing, but I do what I can and do the best I can. That's all we can ask of ourselves.

First week is definitely the worst. Was convinced I had made a horrible mistake. Then on day seven I told myself it was the turning point. The internal swelling would be going down and I would be able to drink more. I began walking in 10 minute bursts outside. At the Weeks 10 minutes feel like nothing. Be patient and hopeful, it will get better. Here is a big cyber hug for you... Hang in there!

* at three Weeks I mean

I am starting to wonder to! I had surgery on the 5 came home on the morning of 7. Was feeling pretty good about it all then, Friday came. Pain pain pain!! Meds don't seem to work, wondering what I did!!!!

I am right ther with you Jen. I was crying yesterday. This is so hard! I am not walking hardly at all. I started at 206 before surgery (before diet I was 237). This morning I weighed. 204. How are people losing 10-20 lbs in the first weeks?...

Well keep on mind they may have weighed more than you, the more to come off the faster. I started 309, haven't weighed myself, don't won't to. I feel no change, just very bloated and hurting, walk in evening for about half mile that seems to do me in! I am worried that I may be becoming dehydrated!! Can't get much in

I feel very bloated too but then I also feel like my belly growls for food?

Don't get discouraged I think the first week is the hardest well it was for me but it gets better and before u know it the weight will just start falling off. Nothing worth having is easy. I am 14 weeks post op.I second guessed myself and my decision to have the surgery. But now im glad i had it. WALKING IS VERY IMPORTANT SO REMEMBER WALK WALK WALK

My stomach also growls for food. It's very normal. HUH! I want to be 125lbs already it's taking for ever. I know someone in this group lost over 20 pounds in 10 days like... Wish it was me,but I know everyine is different.
