How much walking did everyone do after suegery?



Recommended Posts

I've been walking but I get tired quick and it is so hot I don't want to dehydrate. How much is enough? Im,also having pain in my left side of breast. I don't know if it is gas or just pain.

I remember having a sharp pain on the left side of my left breast. The PA at my surgeon's office wasn't sure what would cause that. It went away after a few days, though. Weird.

Hey I had my surgery on Thursday as well. My surgeon told me I should be up moving around every half an hour for 10-15min at a time. I had a little shoulder pain turned out to be just had. Walking around made it ease up quickly.

For the first year after surgery, I walked 30 minutes per day, every day.

I had surgery Tuesday and got home Thursday. I did a lot of walking in the hospital but it's been over 90 degrees outside at home. So I've just been getting up and walking around my house. I'm afraid I'd become easily dehydrated in the hot weather.

I do quick walks around the house all day and a long walk outside with my partner when they get home from work.

I walked around the hospital several times a day after surgery. I'm one week post op today, and I've been walking 45 minutes a day on my treadmill, split into two sessions.

      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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
