Try "tone it up" videos on YouTube. They had a tv show before. They have great exercises.

Also Dr Mathew Weiner (weight loss/bariatric surgeon) has a good YouTube video on exercise.

Can you get some weights and just do strength training at home ? Or squats, lunges, etc..

I have been wanting to get weights, waiting for husbands taxes of course or when we have a free check at this point. Because I know I need to get weights or something especially for my arms. I have noticed I am starting to lose strength in my arms. Only a little loss in my legs

I am walking 3.5 miles on my treadmill every other day (about). What are or did you do at 3 months post op?

Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I think that's great! I'm almost 4 months or and am on week two of couch to 5k. I also have a personal trainer come 3x a week, 30 min twice and an hour on Saturday. I usually walk in addition to the c25k 5 times a week. My surgeon said as long as we're feeling good, we can do what we want.
I think I am just so lost on everything. I know there is no way I can afford the whole personal trainer thing

Try Fitstar app, I have been using it over about 2 weeks and I love it. 2 workout sessions a week is free but if you want more then you have to pay but I like it because it increases in intensity the more you work out. But, I am also one of those people I can motivate myself, I just need the structure.
I can motivate myself too. I just get lost or too overwhelmed. I don't work. And I get exercised induced headaches and Migraines. And I think that might be where I get lost with what I can do. I push through with my treadmill.

That is where the app is the trainer. You do a fitness test and workout from there. I say just give it a try. It's free so what can you lose besides weight! Lol

I was late. But I have seen 6 weeks at least. But you can start walking when you feel up to it. Just don't over do it.

At 6 weeks out I started taking Tae Kwon Do four days a week. I'm now a green belt and I love it! It's cardio, strength training, and flexibility all in one. Now, I can do the splits, and I've started sparring. The down side is I kicked the target wrong last year and lost a toenail...and it grew back really wonky.

You are doing well.

Be consistent with the exercise and be mindful of the calorie intake and all will be well.

Measure, track, evaluate, adjust activity accordingly.

In short, weigh daily and take appropriate action.

I am barely at 500 calories if I am lucky for my intake. I have lost 41lbs in 3 months. I started at 257lbs. And I am 5'3".

Wow 500 calories? That's not nearly enough at 3 months. I'm surprised your weight hasn't stalled out yet. If it happens, definitely up your calories by 100-200. That's should get things moving again.

I have been trying to. But certain things still make me sick. I have had to restart myself a few times already and getting ready to do it again. Going to talk to my surgeon about it tomorrow. I haven't added too many new foods because of it and I can't eat that much because I get too full. I make sure to eat slow. There are sometimes I eat too fast though

My surgeon did not want us working out before two months. We could walk but nothing intense and I think weights are even longer to reduce the risk of hernia.

It's usually up to the surgeon. But usually it is about 6 weeks. But you still want to build up to it. Obviously you don't want to start out doing anything strenuous, especially after 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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
