Well my doctor said to take it easy until the first fill basically just walking. I think you will be fine to start of just walking. Plus it will help with your healing process. Just be careful. :laugh:

I think going to the gym just to walk is fantastic! It will get you inspired to exercise when you are released to do it from your doctor.

You'll be comfortable in the gym environment and maybe have a friendly face or two by that time too. All pluses if you ask me.

Just don't do anything that pulls or pushes until 6 weeks out.

I started walking on the treadmill the day after surgery. I paced around my home too. Just so I could get moving. Be mindfull of your surgery site and tummy. You are healing. Don't do anything that hurts.

      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! 😞
