I am in the same boat, I am waiting to get the Okay for more.. Right now I am just walking, treadmill the last two days since it has been so cold but I can't wait to start working out.
I see mine on Monday as well and hope I get the ok to do more... Would love to start on the crunches and situps to work on the belly skin!! :)
Happy New Year and don't pu**** but I do know the more you walk the more you want to walk and the more you can do...

Topic: How long before you can exercise again??
I had RNY on the 17th and will see my surgeon on Monday. I am thinking about how soon I can get back to the gym?? I feel good but my stamina is not what it was before.
How soon has everyone gone back? Have you had any issues going back to exercise after WLS?

That is what I forgot .. unsweetened applesauce! thanks .. I will try with crystal light too. That was really bad yesterday!
My docotor lets us do creamy liquids after the first 3 -4 days of clear liquid. He also told me in the hospital if I tolerate the creamy liquids well I can go on to pureed. He said ..trust your body, don't pu**** but you will know when you can move on. So I am just taking it one day at a time.
Take care of yourself ....

I read a way to slow down the eating. That is by using a timer to count down a minute or two between bites. I haven't gotten an egg timer, but I do want to try this to slow myself down. I'm waiting to exercise after I get a heads up from my doctor or the exercise physiologist. I usually swim, but think they won't let me while I am healing from the surgery.
Hang in there and it will get better.

Welcome back home. I'm surprised they gave you whole pills at the hospital.
I have to crush my pain medication to have it. I mix it with crystal light and drink it like a shot.
I can't have anything but liquids yet, but I did read about people that mix their crushed pills with unsweetened apple sauce.

The sipping instead of drinking is a HUGE mindshift for me! I'm so used to quenching a thirst by putting away 16oz of liquids, so to sip 30cc over 15 minutes is still something I'm getting used to. But I've already learned that if I try to take in too much, I get burpy and uncomfortable, it is a great way to remind me to take a moment to get to know the new pouch.
I'm walking just around the house and feel like I am getting stronger, but I wonder how soon I should graduate to walks outside down the street or around the block? I've seen posts about people getting exhausted while they are out and I don't want to do that.
