When to start going out and walking?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days post RNY

I find myself getting very nauseated and clamy and lightheaded when i go out and walk.

I have 30 steps to climb to get to my apartment.

Today i walked around our local farmers market for about 15-20 minutes.

As soon as I got home i felt like i was going to pass out.

Am I trying to do too much too soon? Or is this abnormal?

yes, 5 days is still very early.

just take everything slow, like your apartment stairs. put off walking around farmers markets for another week or two. and keep hydrating.

I tried to go to the store 5 days out. Walking very slowly, and still felt like you did. It looked as if I was running a marathon. Take it slow. Stay hydrated is so important. I went back into the hospital for dehydration. You be able to get going soon 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.

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