I work in the medical field and did research and asked my colleagues. When you are approved start weight training, thats actually in my info that I got with the program. But Ive seen they recommend at leasr 3-6 months post-op before starting. Then a nurse I know who lost a significant amount of weight recommended cocoa butter. Its not a cure all but it helps especially your inner thighs, abdomen and arms. They said to make sure to use it everyday and to "learn to pamper yourself".

Hi Angela!

They didn't tell me a specific brand but to just get a decent one. So I just made sure to buy a decent name brand one at the pharmacy.

My surgery was Friday April 8th. How soon did you all start exercising ?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine was April 5th and Im doing 3 10 min walks a day. My doctors wanted me doing that by the end of my first week. I started with walking around my house the first day home then worked my way to 1 10 min walk out side then the next day did 2 and so on. Still increasing it a little each day even by a few minutes. My doctor wants me getting in as close to 10,000 steps a day.

My nurse said 6 weeks post-op, but if you can walk daily, even 15 minutes, do that. It will help you get going, and as you lose, it will be so much nicer to walk! Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
