It's been 2 weeks and have dropped 38lbs. I feel great and ready to do sit-ups and and run, but not sure how long I should wait since it's only been 2weeks since the vertical sleeve surgery??

Everyone will have different advice based on their doctor's instructions.

That being said my Dr. told me to get started day 1. I started walking the day of surgery and have kept going longer and further as the days went on. I strongly believe getting up and moving helped my recovery versus sitting on the couch.

I even asked about weights and he said between the stitches and glue there was little risk of pulling/tearing something. I thought was a little odd since I had been reading here that most Dr. said wait 6 weeks for weights. I chose to wait 3 weeks before lifting again. When I started I went light and have been building on that.

Do what you feel comfortable with.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.
