When to start jogging?



Recommended Posts

Used my camel back on yesterday and today's walks. Minus the bladder because one of my kids broke it some time back. Had my daily BS I carry in it and my 32oz water bottle. Hardly any weight but considering I havn't done any kind of exercise in YEARS it works for now. I think the bladder pocket is a perfect place to put the weight. I have steel plates of varying weight and size so once I get more comfortable with this new fandangled walking thing I'll experiment with different amounts.

I've done this... I've got a 50lb weight vest. A few weeks back I put it on, and weighed myself and I was still less than my pre-op weigh in... the 2 miles I walked was less fun because of it LOL

Hmmm... I know my nephew used to run with a weight vest. I wonder if he still has it. Might have to borrow it just to try it out. As long as it's not that heavy. Probably wouldn't fit anyway.

My apologies, it's 40lb vest. It actually weighs more than 40... but this is the vest I have (mines the older version without the cup holder or headphone routing)

Walking at an incline on a treadmill is an option if compression gear doesn’t solve the problem. The incline means your body burns more calories and it’s easier on your knees and tummy.

      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. 🤞
