Walk. And for me as the weight melted away, it was my butt that went first but left saggy but flat.

I had mine yesterday..He said to walk, cycling is okay..no elliptical (not a fan of it anyway..lol) I have been research in some 3to 5 min butt exercises because my butt has always been nice ( can't twerk cus its mostly muscle ,hardly fat ????) and I don't wanna lose it..but after my month follow up he thinks I could get in the gym..so I am excited about that..cus I don't want theses arms to get flabby either..???? no core excerises for now for sure.

walk on an incline, that will help the tush.

I had a whole bunch done during the surgery and I can't resume real exercise till after 8 weeks.

You gals are lucky to firm up. At nearly 63yo, the sag and bat wings are there to stay. It doesn't really bother me but I'm still 30 lbs from goal. I walk a lot and bicycle.

Thank you. Yes my butt has always been firm and as vain as I may sound my figure was my first concern going into this. I want to keep my figure just smaller lol

..uh oh, I REALLY hope the butt doesn't go first....since I don't have much anything back there. My legs just stop and my back takes over from there. It's so sad.

Yeah it seems that's the first thing going for me. Hopefully the end result will be great

      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? 🤷‍♀️
