How soon after surgery can you start Zumba??? HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

Yoga... That's a good workout. Not too hard but still full body workout. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

How long after surgery did you start an exercise program? Full body workout, I mean. Not just going out of a walk. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

I got them from Price Chopper in my area. But I saw a maple flavor ice cream no sugar added at Walmart. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

Walked the floors of my apartment building. Started on the 14th floor and went down to the 3rd for a total of just under 2k/1.2miles today!! HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

For a little extra Protein, I add a tablespoon of unflavored Protein powder and half a Chrystal light single to my 500 ml bottle of Water. Just another way to help get the protein in. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

'Ohhhhh, I Hope you put him in his place!!!!! Jerk!! Mine said he honestly thought I'd be just fine and back to normal after two or three days home. Uhhh yeah... Right. He now knows that *I* am Cinderella right now! HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

I bought sugar free fudgsicles! Hits that spot nicely! I've decided I'm just going to keep looking for sugar free stuff or bake sugar free stuff at home. There are new ways to scratch the itch, we just need to search them out. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

Amanda, did the hospital give you a binder to wear??? It helps a Lot. Rest if you fell you need to rest. Try to walk when you can. First few days home, I was only able to walk a bit of the hallway outside my apartment door. Only do what you can but, try to do a bit more each day. It really will help with the recoup.

It's the air and swelling... You'll lose it pretty quick. And then some! Had my RNY march 25 and since coming home on the 27th, I've lost 11 lbs HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

Tiff, who did your surgery?? HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

Me too.. They had o use two for me but it doesn't fit on my waist - way to loose - but I need it for the lower bits still. Three more weeks and it comes off. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

I had my RNY on 3/25 as well. I used my phone timer for about three days. Then just started drinking. I can hold more than 30 ml and do a pinch test periodically but I'm not worried about my liquids. Protein is another story.. I now Hate they protein shakes and unflavored protein... I can't even Look at the containers of powder!!! One more week of liquid.... Nooooooo HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

I can't go Another Week with liquid and Protein shakes. I can't even Stand to Look at the container of protein. All I want is a simple chicken stir fry with fresh veggies.... Sighhhhhh one more week to purée stage. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

Unpleasantries... Your first bowel movement after one week!!!!! Not Pleasant !!!!! LoL I can laugh now cuz it's been a few days since. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13

Myself, I feel best in the morning and worst at night. HW 341 GW 150 CW 289.6 RNY 03/25/13
