I'm a month out and trying to figure out an exercise routine. I don't want to over do anything especially since I only get around 4-500 calories in am still struggling with my Water intake. Any advice on a routine?

Walk, walk, walk. Park at the back of parking lot, walk the stairs instead of the elevator (even if it's only 2-3 flights at first), laps around your home...

Find something you love doing. Do you like to dance? Find a Zumba class. Do you like Water? Find a finning or aerobics class. Shop? Mall walking groups are so common!

Move your body towards a fitness goal, one step at a time. It's a marathon, not a race.

I agree with walking especially since you are likely not yet cleared for full activity. Stairs were not my friend 4 weeks out. But four months out I just signed up for Gentle Yoga, a Barre class and Zumba. I wish that I had started exercising more at about 3 months. In all honesty, even though I was cleared for full activity after 9 weeks, I really wasn't ready to do anything other than walking until at least 3 months.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
