6 days per week.. lift weights eveyday, abs everyday and cardio 35 minutes a day. i spend about 1 hour and 10 minutes ish per day in the gym.. Takes 3 weeks to form or break a habit. So its easy!

I could not exercise the first 6 weeks due to surgical complications. The last 4 weeks I have been doing cardio in my home. I have a recumbent bike and an elliptical. I started slow but have worked up to 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week. I have just advanced my diet to stage 5 and will begin with weights after a short vacation.

Glad to hear of your excellent progress. I had the gastric sleeve in December 2013 and have lost 45 pounds thus far. I have

begun exercising 3 days a week ( treadmill, recumbent be, upper body weights). Any suggestions? Charles2911

Sounds like you are making great progress. Most of what I have read suggests cardio exercises 3-4 times a week at increasing intensity. That is pretty much what I have done to this point. I am trying to work more with the elliptical vs the recumbent bike because I get a better workout.

I am going to begin working out at a gym with some weights. My son and daughter in law gave me a 3 month membership that will get me started. I think I will start low intensity to build back some of the muscle definition I've lost. One of the suggestions that I have heard repeatedly is that as you increase workouts, increase the calories at the same time. Your body needs Protein to rebuild muscle and carbs for energy. I have been doing less than 50 carbs per day but will increase when I begin strength training. I have steadily increased calories as my diet has progressed and I have been more active. Currently I am at 800-1000 calories a day and have lost 51 pounds in the last 9 weeks since surgery, 42 before for 93 total.

Good Luck!

Gosh I'm getting jealous! I hope I have similar results. How long do you typically wait before going to the gym, I know it really depends on the person but an estimate would be good :-) I got sleeved on Monday so the only thing I'm ready for is a walk and then bed lol!

I know but it true!!! What I'm thinking is my clothes were right before and now they are extra loose so maybe I was really in a larger size before but for me to loose 70 pounds and there's a huge difference physically my clothes have not changed much they are just more comfortable

Your doctor actually clears you when you are ready it depend on your incisions! How your tolerating foods etc!!!

      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! 😞
