Summer, your goal is to exercise out of your bed .I'm sure with determination and guidance you will. How strange life is. I can go to the gym anytime I want but I just can't motivate myself to do so. You on the other hand given the opportunity will probably be a gym rat.

Don't know if you had your surgery yet but, I wish you the best and I'm sure we will read positive posts from you in the future.

I am so proud of you for beginning this journey!

Make daily goals, and increase as you can. Make your daily goals specific ie: after Breakfast every day I will do ________ 10 times, Or whatever makes sense in your day. If you do small things, multiple times a day it adds up.

Maybe 10 mins 3X/day of exercise.

Also, a few visits with a physical therapist to show you things you can do now at home is very helpful. My insurance paid for PT for me, since I have a ton of physical issues.

Best of luck!!

I was just at an event featuring success stories. and someone there once could only walk with a walker and that night she carried her walker onto the stage. It can be done and it will take time just do what your doctors and nutritionists tell you

And that's an idea make a short-term goal of exercising to lift your Walker up and down. Then a couple months you can throw your Walker into a dumpster

      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! 😞
