I left it about five weeks before I supplemented 25-45 minutes per day's walking with some swimming.

Since Saturday Nov 18th, I have tried to have at least TWO hours swimming (breaststroke) PLUS 25 minutes chest-deep wading at my local pool.

It's forty years since I last used boxing as a component of my fitness plan.

Here's my exercise log for the last six weeks. Columns are labelled. (Second column is what shows on my fitness wrist-band for steps and strokes total.)

December 1 was when I was flying interstate and stuck in a rental car.

December 25 was the POOL SHUT DOWN for Christmas Day.

My speed varies a lot some days ... I amble and trickle along just absorbing time moving slowly some days.

Congratulations!! I hope all is going well. I have been super bad at exercising and my goal is to start getting into a routine. I am 6 months post-op and I don't think I've exercised more than 8 hours total since surgery. I know, I'm terrible. I've lost 99.8lbs in the last year, 85 of those pounds since surgery. I definitely need to tone but I don't have a ton of super saggy skin which is great also. I'm about 20lbs from goal weight but my main focus now is toning for sure. I would say make sure to wait for approval from your doctor before exercising but try to get into a routine. No need to be a slacker like me!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
