I had my surgery 11-2-12 i would like to start using my ellipictal again, i am not able to go fast or run just a steady brisk walk. DO you all think this is ok. I just dont have time to go walking outside, and i could do this in the morning before i go to work.

Ask your doctor. I was not allowed to do strenuous exercise for six weeks. I would be safe and call them. That uses a lot of muscles.

Do not start exercise before prescribed by your physician. You can cause complications.

I understand how you feel though. I am going on 2 months out and my weight has been at a standstill despite exercising 3 times a week and walking daily (I am a home care nurse).

Since the beginning of sept i have lost 37 lbs. I am so excited at the chance to gain my life back. I go for my 1st fill on the 28th, and I have been keeping my meals limited to 1 cup at a time which keeps me full for 3-4 hours.

Hopefully that first fill will be just enough for you. That was all I needed. Good you are able to get to the one cup now with 3-4 hours. That is awesome. You may not want very much added. Go slow as you matpy be a lucky one like me. I have only had one fill and almost 11 months post op.

I went to my 1st DR visit yesterday at my 6 day post op and he said it was ok for my to start goin to the gym. Treadmill was ok elliptical was ok exercise is good. I even ask how long he said 30-60 mins. But I just think it is too soon. Too soon for me and now I have gas trapped in my ribcage

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
