I was 356lbs before surgery and I always exercised. I say listen to your body, everyone is different in their fitness level. I found walking, swimming classes, zumba and some weight training to be the things I could do. But again, listen to your body. There is good exercise pain and bad. Avoid the bad

I'm doing great as well! Best decision of my life! Congrats to you all. I'm going in tomorrow to have my gallbladder removrd now. 100lbs down :-D woohoo

I'm sorry to have to say this....but why is it so important to have soda pop? It doesn't kill you to never drink it. There are plenty of other options that are way better for your health than pop.

Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to try this And so sorry about your complications, that explains they longer wait on some foods. I hope things are much better for you now.

You should do fine with salad, I was ok to have raw veggies 6 weeks out. But on another note....would you mind sharing your cesear salad dressing recipe?

Clear burning alcohol like vodka and tequila are the best for our new tummies. Other alcohol has too much sugar in it. Although I still will try wine. But it's a good thing I like vodka and tequila just no pop for mixes

It would do the same thing as pop and I was told no alcohol for 3 months.

I was able to start having a small(maybe 1 cup) of salad after 6 weeks. It's a very little amount with iceberg lettuce, shredded carrot, cucumber, red pepper and tomato. Oh and some salad dressing for some slip to the veggies

I have the same problem. I'm 2 months post op and 46lbs down. A friend told me it's cause I don't have the core body strength anymore. Guess its time to hit the gym and start working out these muscles.

Constipation is SO normal. A high protein diet is the cause of this. I had a couple major problems and finally said enough! I figure eating a balanced diet was healthier on my bowels than laxatives, stool softeners and not to mention the discomfort of the constipation. So I made mini bran muffins at home from scratch. They are full of fiber, I have 1 a day and now I go no problem every day. I can always give the recipe if anyone is interested. I'm also eating a little fruit and veggies as well now and I'm 2 months out

Watermelon has a high glysemic index so it spikes your insulin. Not one of the better fruits to try because of the sugar context

I've heard bumping you calorie intake up a bit, change up the exercise and increasing your fluid can kick start a stall. Good luck to reaching that next goal.

As far as I know they answer is no. But I do know someone 5 years out from being sleeved and she drinks diet sodas. But I would be careful.
