So I am five days post-op and walked for an hour straight and was able to do 3 miles!!!!!!!! Feeling great, and excited for this new change in my healthier lifestyle!!!

Very good what surgery did you do glad to hear you're going well hear many stories of complications but think some people just very unwell

I went with the Gastric Bypass. I actually had complications post-op, the day after my surgery I had bloody stool and lost a lot of blood and was severely dehydrated. I was given a blood transfusion and 2 IV bags at a time. This definitely brought down my faith a little but I just keep reminding myself why I did this.

Exercise and having a new body feels great, doesn't it? Way to go!

I too have been walking (2.5mph max) on the treadmill for 1-2 hours daily.
Was sleeved on 2-6, and have been treadmill walking now for 3 days.
I’m thinking walking slow and steady like I am isn’t going to screw up my weight loss because I’m not getting into any kind of cardio zone at this slow and steady of a pace

Yes everyone I spoke to says walking is very important

I had sleeve on 7 jan and have been walking since I woke up from the anaesthetic. By the time I saw my surgeon 2 weeks post op, I was doing at least 7000 steps a day and now my average is 10000 a day.
If I feel uncomfortable, eaten too fast, drunk water to early after a meal - I walk walk walk ???

Awesome job! Was sleeved on 2-6 and yesterday I finally hit 10k steps for a single day. My job is 100% on my feet and I’ve gotta be ready for those 10-12 hour shifts.
Besides, the water goes down much easier with walking. I can set my treadmill for a 2.5 mile walk and drink an entire 20oz water in that hour
