nomorefat 74 Posted June 7, 2012 Surgery 6/4. Came home 6/5. Been in my night gown since I got home, try to get walking around the house. Got 6 walks yesterday at 5 mins each. Today I decided to get up, get dressed and walk outside. I made it 13 mins, and was so discouraged !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melsauve 76 Posted June 10, 2012 Wow you came home quick! Give yourself a chance just keep at it. The first week is the worst. Sounds like your doing great though:-). Don't be so hard on your self. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmiller 146 Posted June 10, 2012 Just do the best you can. I haven't been able to exercise very much, and it is depressing, but I do what I can and do the best I can. That's all we can ask of ourselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newlife2012 0 Posted June 10, 2012 First week is definitely the worst. Was convinced I had made a horrible mistake. Then on day seven I told myself it was the turning point. The internal swelling would be going down and I would be able to drink more. I began walking in 10 minute bursts outside. At the Weeks 10 minutes feel like nothing. Be patient and hopeful, it will get better. Here is a big cyber hug for you... Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddussault 5 Posted June 10, 2012 I am right ther with you Jen. I was crying yesterday. This is so hard! I am not walking hardly at all. I started at 206 before surgery (before diet I was 237). This morning I weighed. 204. How are people losing 10-20 lbs in the first weeks?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This morning I weighed. 204. How are people losing 10-20 lbs in the first weeks?... Well keep on mind they may have weighed more than you, the more to come off the faster. I started 309, haven't weighed myself, don't won't to. I feel no change, just very bloated and hurting, walk in evening for about half mile that seems to do me in! I am worried that I may be becoming dehydrated!! Can't get much in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddussault 5 Posted June 10, 2012 I feel very bloated too but then I also feel like my belly growls for food? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josee67 40 Posted June 10, 2012 Don't get discouraged I think the first week is the hardest well it was for me but it gets better and before u know it the weight will just start falling off. Nothing worth having is easy. I am 14 weeks post op.I second guessed myself and my decision to have the surgery. But now im glad i had it. WALKING IS VERY IMPORTANT SO REMEMBER WALK WALK WALK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
