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 !!!!

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!

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 :(

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

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
