    How Soon To Start Back Exercise??

    Get back to walking now you will feel so much better. Your week because you really haven't eaten protein is what you need. After my first walk 4 days after surgery I felt dizzy but I felt so good and after each walk my energy level shot through the roof. I had my first visit with my doctor today and I get my first fil on Feb. 2 and my doctor said that I am doing real good and the main reason is because I got up and got moving. If your not having no pain go ahead and get outside and start walking. I pushed it a mile my first walk and I had my husband walk with just in case but I can not say enough I feel good and I am back up to my 4/5 miles and swimming and I am 3 weeks today. Good luck and GET MOVING you will tell the difference immediately

    Let's be honest about exercise

    If i go more than 3 dats without walking I begin to feel miserable and I have a terrible attitude. I am going to incorporate weights and go back to swimming after I have my first dr visit on Thursday. It's hard to get started but once you do and you see how better you feel you really do not want to stop.

    Left Shoulder Pain

    I was banded on dec 29 and the pain in my shoulder wakes me up out of my sleep and my husband has to rub me down. The medicine helps alot but I am using it sparingly because from some of the post that I have been reading some still have pain months after their surgery

    How Soon To Start Back Exercise??

    I had the same question because all I heard was to start working out as soon as possible so I started walking 4 days after surgery. What I was wondering was how soon do I go back to running and weights and swimming. My first appt with my doctor isn't until the 19th I'm ready to go full force I feel real good and I was banded on Dec 29th.
  9. I was banded on Dec 29 and my appetite is also back I'm eating small amounts and for breakfast I make sure to do a protein shake but my first app isn't until the Jan 19. I am back walking at my full stride I will not start jogging or weights again until my doctor clears me but yeah I am worried to because I am doing the same thing the same 3 pounds are on and off but I refused to get stressed about it be because I know that this is part of the process.

    December Bandsters!! How Ya Feeling??

    Hello everyone I was banded dec.29 and I am back to my normal routine. I went back walking in 4 days after surgery and I am back up to 2 miles in not going to stay back jogging until I have my first doctor visit which is the 19 of January . That's the only thing that I hate is that my appt is so far out because I am worried if I am doing everything correctly. The major downside is that my appetite is back and I am scared. I am truly taking it day to day and with increasing my workouts it's making it worse. But all in all I am happy with my decision and do not regret it at all. I'm just hungry and I am trying to make it to the 19th
  11. Thank you thank you thank you Im on my way to Walmart
  12. I need help I haven't had my fill yet but I can eat mushy food so some help please
  13. Thanks is just that my appt Is not until the 19 so I really do not know Im so confused but I'll be strong but I just really want to cry.
  14. Thank you it's just that before the surgery I was walking/jogging about 12-13 miles a week and I am scared that if I do not get back into the routine of working out I'll loose the motivation and all I have been hearing from the doctor and nurses is to start moving it'll heal the process faster the weight dropping I'm not to much worried about I guess it's just getting back to my routine and becoming unmotivated, I will like to thank you though this is the best thing for me to have so many people to talk to who understands and that are going through the same thing. I am also going to the group meeting on the 11th I'll take any and every support that I can get. Thanks
