Recommended Posts

Im almost a month post op..(will be 1month august 18th) and I've come to a stall already. I got the clearance to start working out, but have no idea what to besides walk and that is really boring. I cant afford a gym at the moment or a trainer..what home exercises do any of you guys do? That can help jump start my weightloss again...

Well then you need to start slowly. Walking maybe boring, but it is where you should start. Start out walking a short distance and increase by a little each day. I would wait on using the ten pound weight. The worst thing you can do is too much too soon. You will wake up sore and not want to continue to exercise.

Thats true, I just feel like I need to be doing SOMETHING...guess ill just continue my walking..I was walking 30 min around my neighborhood before surgery...Ive just been walking 10 mins around the block since surgery, but it hasnt been daily.

Yes! I heard about those community zumba classes..i think it was like 5 dollars or something. I never went pre op because i didnt want to embarrass myself, but after losing 41 lbs total, it gave me a little confidence boost lol so i might just have to try that!

You can go on youtube and look up Shaun Ts beach body, or rocking body and do that as a workout...its basic dancing you can do it in the comfort of your home and most important its fun...then if you search on youtube other exercises they have that too....

I refuse to pay for the gym, so I do my things at home and walk, and just staying active....Hope this helps good luck :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
