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.

When is your 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.

Since you workout alot, did you have alot of issues with loose skin? It is something I keep thinking about lol-I so don't want to have to wear a bunch of girdles.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
