I see my doctor next week and I had my surgery 8/22 so now I'm just wondering when did y'all start working out like jogging? I feel like I'm stuck at 295 and it won't go lower :( ... I was 305 when I had my surgery. Any ideas??

I've been walking around the house. I started doing some walk away the pounds. Next week I'm hopefully can just take daily walks to the mailbox and back. (my box is not in front of my apartment). I'm looking forward to lifting weights again.

I wasn't cleared for jogging or lifting weights until 6weeks out. Limit exercise to walking for now or at least until your doc says it is ok. A stall at this point is very normal. So don't worry about the scale. Stay on your nutrition plan and walk as much

You can.

I had my surgery 8 22 16 as well and was told to just walk and wait a few weeks before doing weights and hard training. I also just walk around my house, the left side of my stomach still bothers me to be doing anything strenuous.

i wasnt cleared to do anything but walk until 6 weeks out. not even lift anything over 10 pounds. i think its to make sure we dont give ourselves a hernia. i would walk around the house all day and vacuum or dust. needless to say i had a very clean house for 6 weeks haha! take it easy and good luck

I had surgery on 8/23 and was told that I can only walk for at least a month. Once I go back they will let me know what else I'm able to do. I'm kind of at a stand still as well but just keep focusing on the prize. A healthier me.

I was sleeved on 8/22 also....2 years ago lol.

What's going with your weight loss has nothing to do with whether you're exercising or not. Your body is in starvation mode and that is triggering a stall. It's totally and completely normal and usually happens 2-5 weeks out from surgery. No worries. Get your Protein and fluids and stay the course. The stall will pass and you'll be back to losing in no time!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
