i was sleeved on 24th jan. I started some weights and upper body exercises. But My stomach has swollen....

so I better stop....I cant walk much due to arthritis. so I was enjoying these exercises with a trainer.

Now I better wait till 3 months are up.

I was sleeved three weeks ago yesterday. I still do not have enough energy to be out walking that much. I get tired and sweat profusely. I am wondering what the ages of some of you are that are able to recover and exercise so quickly..... I am one of the "older generation"... I realize I also had a little more done than my sleeve, I had my gallbladder out that was full of stones. I do have a rarer disease of my liver too that zaps my energy...but still, how are you able to get into the walking more than just a little routine. I hurt too much and tire too easily for that.

Hi Misslu...i am 59..but I forced myself to walk daily...i was walking with a stick...My lap band was not so successful..so I am determined to make this work...walk and rest...you can do that...walking will help in weight loss and also reduce gas.

Hello, I was sleeved on March 6th and I have been walking almost daily for 30 min. On the weekend my family in I go for longer walks. I signed up for a 5k memorial weekend.. Hopefully by Thanksgiving I will do another one, but my goal is to jog the entire 5K.

One month today. Back to water aerobics tonight. Still easily fatigued. And frustrated.

Sleeved march 25th got the all clear Friday to do light cardio walking and jogging. And then I can life no more than 10lbs. This is for the next month. Then I can lift and exercise how I see fit. Going to the rec center on campus today to get my locker for the quarter. Really excited to start working out on Monday!!!!

I am 55 years old, have fibromyalgia, and neuropathy in my feet and legs. I have to use a walker. I am very limited in what I can do however when I decided to have this surgery I made a decision to find some form of exercise that I was capable of doing. I bought this XL Glider. It is wonderful. For the first month or so, I could only go about 5 minutes at a time without having to stop because of back pain. I made it my goal to get 30 minutes finished over the course of the day. And that's how I did it. 3 minutes here, 6 minutes there, until I totaled 30. I can now go 30 minutes at one stretch, barely. It sits right in the middle of the living room. It's not shut off in some other room where I can't see it. It sits there mocking me until I get on the darn thing.

You mentioned you have fatigue because of a liver disorder. I have incredible fatigue from my fibromyalgia and some days I don't even get out of bed. But the days I do, I get on my glider. The statistics show that those who exercise are more succesful with their weight loss surgery. I plan on being one of the successfull ones. Good luck!

I was sleeved 3/27, & I walk 2 miles a day and do 2 sets of 15 reps with 5 lbs dumbells for my.arms....I feel great.....I lust 32lbs so far and I had a revision from band that I lost 146 from

hello..Its too early to do dumbbells i think...I was sleeved on 24./1 .I started dumbbells recently...but had to stop...got swelling on my stomach...

we have to only walk for 3 months..till the sleeve heals completely..

Take care. all the best.

My doctor is different from most and he approved it....I haven't had any issues....he stayed as long as it's not over 10 lbs....I do 5

I was even released from the hospital same day....I didn't stay overnight like majority....

I was sleeved on March 25th I'm down 25lbs and I'm walking 2 to 3 miles a day at our high school track. I feel great but get a little tired. I'm ready for the other exercises so I can start working on this gut!! Tummy be gone!! Good luck to everyone

Hi littleton...its wonderful that you are doing well...our doctors maybe different but the operation is the same. a huge part of our stomach is removed and the remaining is stapled....

so most doctors advise to take it easy for 3 months. I was doing fine...enjoying my weights so much....but now I have stopped.

wish you success in your journey.

I'm cleared for all exercise today. At one Month appointment now. Went to water aerobics last night. Felt great!!!!!! Still so hard to schedule exercise into my day. Wish I didn't work and commute. Or I wish there were more hours in the day!

My surgery was March 5th. At my 2-week check-up my doctor said my incisions looked great and after 4 weeks post-op I could do whatever I wanted as long as I didn't work my stomach/abs. So I started hitting weights the beginning of last week and I've felt amazing. I get most of my cardio in by walking during my breaks at work. I started my weight load off light with 10lb dumbbells but I've progressed on certain exercises to 15lbs. I actually worked chest, shoudlers, and triceps yesterday and am sore today, so I know I'm benefitting now. My next doctor's appointment is next Thursday, and I will weigh and update then. I've tried to stay away from the scales as much as possible so as to not discourage myself. I see and feel the inches falling off by my clothes. The weight is a number to me, and I try to see it as nothing more. Hope this was helpful!
