How early after surgery were you able to exercise? How active were you prior to surgery? Have you shared your stats? I have my surgery end of Jan. My BMI is 37.

I actually started doing real exercise about 1 week post op... but from the moment i got home i was walking everyday. Mainly because it helped with the gas, but the sooner you get going the easier it is. I have always been very active, even at my highest weight so having the energy hasn't really been an issue for me. I have been an athlete all my life, so i have a little more extensive knowledge than the average person about working out. I have shared my stats normally i put it as the first thing when i blog, but when the VST went down the other day it deleted everything, lol... but ill give them to you..

Im 5'7"

HW:265

GW:250

DoS:238.1

CW:212.1

surgery was 12-12-11

down 26lbs..

you actually have a lower BMI than most people i think i started at 39BMI somewhere around there. And so we will lose weight at a slower rate than others but i found that with the working out im staying as on track as possible if not more than i guess the average person..

Good luck on your surgery tho.. im sure you will do great.
