Ghack

I'm sure there will be more than a few people to jump on this topic and give you a hard time - maybe that's what you are looking for. There seems to be so many "experts" here that seem to think since they had this surgery they are qualified to tell you what to eat, when to exercise, when to do anything - then their fall back response is to ask your doctor if you are not sure what to do - Your doctor is not the best resource for information, just look at the different advice from doctors regarding the exact same surgery - anyone think about that?

I started on the elyptical machine 5 days after surgery at low intensity, not much different than walking (actually less impact on the body). I currently workout everyday with about 30 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of weight lifting. Had my gastric sleeve done in Cancun Oct 11 this year. The whole "listen to your doctor" seems like such lame thing to say - they know about the same (or even less) than anyone who does some research on line. Just because someone has a "doctor" title does not make him the smartest person in the world but that seems to be the usual consensus on this forum.
