Am I doing enough walking



Recommended Posts

So I'm 3 days post op and I'm still pretty drowsy and its too hot to walk outside so every time I get up I walk in place or in a circle to my favorite song or a wedding song til it goes off is that enough walking or should I be doing more

You are doing great. You are only three days post op! Doing any walking is good. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, you just need to focus on healing right now :)

I think you're doing great, too.

If you only did a little bit more every day, you'd be amazed at how soon you'd be traveling miles!

Walking is one of those magical things -- a little becomes a lot very fast.

I think you're doing great! Once you're up to it, and want to try more, in order to get out of the heat go to one of the malls.....there's plenty of indoor walking available there and you can check out some of the cute clothes you'll be able to wear in no time!!! Let your body tell you what's "enough"...

      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.
