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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April 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! 😞
