Food.vs.exercise

[JSahi 6]

hellooos!

I am currently on my 6 months diet for my insurance to approve me to get the band so YAY and GOODLUCK FOR ME lol.

I've been reading threads and I see alot of peoples talking about how they eat and what they eat to lose the weight but I never really see anything additional about exercise.

My question to you all is, do you exercise often? If so what type of exercises do you do? Or do you pretty much leave it up to the types of foods and portions you eat to lose?

Just a curious future bander

Every day 20 min for now. 2 weeks post op. have you seen any of banded Wendy's or gherlinBGone's YouTube videos.

Both are essential!

I am in the same boat you are JSahi. I have to diet 6 months before surgery also.

There's heaps about people's workouts on here. Myself, I run,spin and o strength training.

Working out will be necessary. There are threads solely about exercise. Even if you lose all the weight you want, a sedentary lifestyle is never good for anyone. Trust me, you will hit plateaus and will have no choice but to start working out. Nothing magic about the band. Still gotta do the hard work.

Daily exercise, I also do weight lifitng 3 days a week. For maintaining the weight loss it is key.

Early on I swam and did Water aerobics since I had a really bad knee problem. 2 years out I'm doing 5 to 7 miles a day walk
