Can't do any weight or most gym equipment as hernias are still healing , but am enjoying walking on treadmill and usually feel great afterwards. Looking forward to long walks this summer...

Thanks for the heads up I had a hiatus hernia removed/fixed also, I better take it easy.

Im just gonna walk until my 1 month appointment.

Im also looking forward to longer summer/evening walks. I hate sun lol

I just entered week 5 (sleeved March 5th) and am going to start hitting the gym this week. I got the ok from my surgeon so I am going to start doing stuff that is a little more up-tempo than walking. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really looking forward to it!

Way to go, that's awesome.

I was sleeved March 31 and I've been on my glider every day since I came home. I have even managed 30 minutes each time. I might not be going super fast but I am moving. I went 1.25 miles today and managed to get my heartrate up. I usually have to quit before my heartrate goes up so maybe something good is happening.

I do need to get some light weights for my arms. Maybe as light as 2 lbs. I'll have pain if I lift very much but I'm dreading my batwings getting bigger so I'd better get started. It's hard to work in the exercise around all this darn sipping!

I am up and walking. My surgery was on March 11th and I have been walking a mile a day on the treadmill and started swimming last week. I also went to Disneyland today with my kids for about 4 hours and we walked my booty off but it was way to much, I ended up coming home and needing a nap. But at least I am up and walking.

Keep moving forward, Good Luck!

I'm a DL pass holder and have only gone once since surgery. It took sooo much out of me. Not to mention there is like nothing wls friendly to eat there (I was in puréed when I went. Ended up eating a little unsweetened applesauce.) I probably won't go back for another few weeks, so that way I can be on regular foods by then.

Good luck on ur test. Welcome to the losers bench.

I went to the park yesterday & walked 2.77 miles. Woohoo

I had surgery march 12th..only down 14lbs...I feel stuck...frustrated....I have not started excersising...but I do walk on my lunch for about 15min....its hard getting water down...protein is fine..maybe too many calories. ..I don't measure or journal I think this is my prob...the day of surgery I was 217 I am now 203

I had surgery on March 11th and am down about 27 lbs. Feeling good!

Walking 1-2 miles a day and joined water aerobics to help tone some loose skin.

I am still eating soft foods like cottage cheese, apple sauce and scrambled eggs.

Looking forward to graduating to more food variety soon.

I went to the doctor today to get my drain removed (sleeved 3/31). I had a hiatal hernia repaired during surgery. I was told to walk walk walk and to also incorporate resistance bands and 5lb weights. I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow. I'm tired of sitting on the couch all day.

Been walking for 30 minutes since two days post-op. In the past week, I started jogging a little over a mile around my neighborhood which contains many hills. I feel great and plan of stepping it up next week. Surgery was on 3-6-14 and I've lost 26 pounds so far. Yay me!!!
