Hi, I would like to know how much everyone is walking in their first week or so after being sleeved? Thank you

My doc wanted me to walk at least 20 minutes a day... and to walk more if I could. But I had a rough recovery and only walked a few minutes a day. After the 2nd week post-op, I started increasing my walking and now (10 months later) I walk 5 miles a day 4 or 5 days a week.

My doctor advised me to walk as much as I could every 2 hours after surgery. Once I came home my husband and I would go to the outlet mall or the strand and walk for a couple of hours each day. I had a very easy recovery.

I walked a lot in the hospital. The first week I worked myself up to walking each day by starting out walking around my cul de sac with my husband for 5 minutes slow 2 laps the day after I got home. I increased it to 10 then 15 down the street then the block. I'm 9 wks out and walk 2 miles a day with my son in a stroller and my dog.

My first week I had to work myself up to a mile (I didn't time myself) I didn't have pain but nausea with motion, and still do

I am just about 3 weeks out and am walking 2 miles every other day but find after about 1.5 I get nauseous, still chugging along tho!

After my two week visit my dr said to walk an hour. I had to actually make myself get on the treadmill probably a week and 1/2 later. Was just physically fatiqued. Doing much better now. I listen to some good downloads on my phone and get my bottled Water and that hour passes by really fast.
