Do you still exercise at all or will you still lose weight without exercising?

Hi:

I was not a big exerciser prior to surgery. I tried lots of things, but was too heavy to really stay motivated, unfortunately.

As in all things sleeve, what we choose to do is a personal choice. When I decided to have surgery, I wanted to do everything I could to get the best outcome I can. You will most certainly lose without exercise, but you most likely will not tone.

I know that without exercise I would not be as far along as I am.

Post-op and when I started to really lose, my aversion to exercise waned. Now that I can do more.. I do more. I try and push myself, because now I can. I still can't get into going to the gym, but I find things that I enjoy (Bike riding is a new passion).

You need to do what's best for you, there are challenge threads here that really help keep me motivated to move at my pace. Anything I'm doing now is 1000% more than I was doing before.

So make the best choices for you and best of luck!

Yeah, I can agree. Thanks, I'll see what I like doing the best, but I'll stay active because I want to tone up.

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

      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! 😞
