I do miss water aerobics though. That was a full body resistance workout. My YMCA discontinued the class because they didn't have enough people. Hope they bring it back. -

The cold kept me in too! But now that the weather is better, I've been going to the YMCA body pump group class (group strength training workout with barbells and hand weights) 2xwk. I try to add in a 3rd day of just cardio. I'm trying to work up to at least 4xwk. Really enjoy the body pump though! -
At my 6 week visit my Dr. Said I could have an occasional glass of wine, but to be mindful of the calories and as long as my stomach can handle it.

Acid reflux: when did it start for you? How bad is it?
back2me15 replied to OldMomOf3's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I got bad reflux after surgery and never had it before. Dr. Changed me to disolvable prevacid and added Liquid Carafate. They use Carafate to treat ulcers. I take it 4 times a day. Helps tremendously! -

When ever my weight stalls I pick up my 15lb kettle bell and do some exercises. Jillian Michaels has some work outs on you tube. I'll drop at least 2 lbs the next day. If u use it right u get cardio and resistance training at the same time.

Has anyone actually gained the week after surgery?
back2me15 replied to Ddottess's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
It's probably from all of the IV fluids they pumped into you and the swelling. 2 days after surgery I was 10lbs heavier than when I checked in for surgey. My weight came down in a few more days. By day 6 I was down 7lbs from check in for surgery -
I just got my sleeve 2 wks ago. I had a hard time following the pre op diet too! I did good during the day but gave in to some not so great foods for dinner, but ate small portions. I only lost 7lbs on that diet and my surgeon said my surgery went perfect and my liver was small enough. I weighed 240lbs day of surgery I'm 5'6 1/2".
