6 weeks after surgery i started the gym but just the elliptical. But i would go everyday even if it was just 20-30 mins .. Little by little i went progressing ..... Make it a point to be a little active little by little ..it will get easier..... Its all a mind thing after. Before the sugery i couldnt do much myself.... Going up one flight of stairs would kill me. I also had bac k problems . but after the sugery i promised myself i would go.... I did not want to rely on the surgery.

It won't be till July at the earliest. I have to complete a 6 month diet thing first-yack.

I've just started doing the aerobic thing every other day. I would love to go outside and walk but it is like 17 degrees here with a wind chill of 8.

Do you have any kids? I have a clingy 10 month old, so he makes it pretty hard to get a chance to get anything in-I usually wait for him to go to bed. I am hoping by the time after surgery and he will be almost a 1 year and a half, it won't be as bad.

Thank you ! Thank you! I started at 265lbs. 34 yrs old. I still have a lot of fat around my thighs. That will be hard to completely tone....but i have hard too many surgeries already so i will work hard to avoid the skin removal surgery if possible.

Amanda...good luck on your surgery.... It is worth the wait. I have 5 year old and a 17 year old (step) ....a very supportive husband...and i am blessed to bave gym at my work....it was always there lol but after the sugery i had he energy because i started sleeping better and my back issues went away.... I live in Canada so the cold temps right now dont help ...... Try to fit in activities.... When you can. It will get easier.

      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.
