Treadmill Desk



Recommended Posts

Thought it might be helpful to share something that has worked out rather well for me so far post-op.

Got inspired by some examples I came across surfing the internet and figured once I had committed WLS it couldn't be a better time to build a treadmill desk. Since I already had the treadmill, building one primarily meant fashioning a desk add-on that could lock to the upper portion of the treadmill and support a keyboard / mouse. Secondarily was finding a decent media stand that could support the componentry desired and raise it to a functional standing height.

Though it would be possible to do computer work on these, I primarily use it for gaming (Xbox / PC) and watching tv / movies while walking.

Certainly helps the time go by and average about 2 hours a day on it currently.

That's pretty cool, I have a elliptical in my family room and have plans to add more equipment but everything is on hold due to my inlaws living down there for now.

This is a sweet setup. If I had a treadmill at home I'd totally rig my gaming PC up to this. Good way to get extra steps in!

Are you kidding me.....when I'm on the treadmill, people are looking at me like they might need to call 911. It's all I can do to remain standing..... :unsure:

Heh - at the moment almost primarily play a pretty heavily modded version of Skyrim on this. Gives a mildly VR feel when you are walking on the mill and walking around the virtual landscape.

      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. 🤞
