Hmmm, my instructions say no lifting or rigorous ab workouts until 3 months post-op in order to avoid hernia.

Definitely listen to Aggiemae - your surgeon is your best advisor and you paid him a lot of money for it.

As with diet progression doctors recommendations vary wildly. My restrictions were only for four weeksZ

I could start working out a month out but i havent started yet. I get dizzy spells and am plain lazy. I try to walk as much as i can but the hip pain makes it undesirable. I think I've lost 38lbs in the 3 months since surgery. I feel like i could have done better. Want to get to under 200 by my birthday Jan 7th. Im 210. I don't think it's possible. But I'll sure try

You've lost 38lbs in 3 months, that's fantastic - over 3lbs/week. Give yourself credit!

Thanks! Wow i didn't think of it that way. I always have this little voice saying it's not enough and im trying to get rid of that negative inner talk.

I am the same way. I feel like I am losing slowly, esp compared to other people who started at my size. I have lost 55lbs since the surgery (80lbs total including pre op diet) which​ equates to 4.5lbs per week. That is a really good rate but my brain doesn't focus on that part. It focuses on the guy who lost 100lbs in 3 months.

The world will bring you down all on its own. Do you really need to help with your own negativity towards yourself? These results are amazing and I am encouraged to hear of the weight loss: ANY weight loss.
