Hi! I had RNY surgery on May 1st. My start weight was 270, pre surgery weight of 254 and as of today I weigh 240. I'm averaging about a loss of a pound a day. I'm feeling that I don't have enough guidance. Or maybe it's just me self doubting. But what should I be doing for exercise right now? I am blessed that my journey has been without speed bumps and that I am healing very well. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Congratulations on your surgery, if I were you I would take it easy start with walking nothing strenuous, pace yourself and listen to your body. I had surgery at the end of September 2013 I didn't lift weights for 6 weeks and I started doing zumba at the end of my first month. Good luck hopefully this will answer your questions.

IT might be best to ask your surgeon what level of exercise he/she feels you are ready for. I think walking and lifting dumbbells to help with your upper arms are a good start but it all depends on what is best for your individual situation.
