Hi!

I'm 3 weeks post - op and am now walking regularly, but certainly wasn't walking a lot at 6 days! I say take your time and do what feels right to you.

I bought a recumbent exercise bike off Amazon for less than $200, and I use that for my exercise.

Our temperatures here in Southern California have been running towards 90° and over and I don't walk well in those kind of temperatures. Plus, I have back issues that make walking for long distances very hard for me. Downright painful.

Just an idea.

I have a desk cycle. I used to live in a terrible neighborhood. I wasn't going to go outside by myself and risk getting mugged, run over or worse. The apartment was tiny - 600 sq ft. I would walk around when I could, but two adults with a lot of stuff and four cats means not much room for anything. I got the desk cycle so I could pedal while at the computer or while sitting on the couch. My team really liked this idea and said they would recommend it to patients with space issues. I would still get up and shuffle around the rooms the best I could several times a day. Thankfully I've moved to a much more rural part of the state where I can walk freely and my college campus pretty much forces me to walk 30 minutes a day between classes and my car.

Walking will actually give you energy help strengthen you quicker. Just go slow, stay hydrated and cool while you do. Walk laps in your house. For instance chair to kitchen 2-3 times before sitting one day tomorrow up it to 4 if its too quick do 3 then 4. As long as you do more today than yesterday every step is an improvement. If that's too easy. Go to the mall or a store window shop at pretty things a couple sizes 2 small. You'll be there before you know it

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
