Exercise questions: Are you exercising regularly? If so, how often and what do you do for exercise? Did you exercise on a regular basis pre-op?

not like I should I try to daily, but more likely it's 3 days a week.

I try to do something each day. In cooler weather I go to the gym, in good weather I walk or hike. As a preop I was a very active person. I have a job that keeps me on my feet and moving all day and I went to the gym fairly regularly.

I am exercsing about 4-5 days a week. I do weights for the upper body every other day. I then do 2 sessions a day on the elliptical for 30- 45 minutes each and then do a 20 minute session on the treadmill every other day. I do this and still have no clue as to why I am gaining weight. I keep my carbs, protein and calories where I should and still no luck.

I have been exercising 6 days a week. i walk,eliptical,yoga,etc. which ever I feel like that day. Did i exercise pre-op NO.......

I walk each day and use the bowflex once or twice a week. I did none of that (or any other exercise) before surgery Lori

I have ramped mine up lately. I run, do pushups and situps, need to get back in with my PT and go over some stuff, just haven't been able to commit to a time...EXCUSE! No I did not exercise pre-op. I actually feel bad when I miss it now!

I am riding 4 to 10 miles aday on my bike. I live in the country so I can ride and feel safe. No fast cars usually until in the late eve when the kids get hold of thier mommy and daddies cars. Then u better watch out. I have also been doing a lot of yard work the weeding helps most because its up and down . Pre-op I have to be honest NO I Did Not. If I had maybe I would never had to have WLS!

pre op I didn't exercise... now I don't exercise enough... I do walk, sometimes ride my stationary bike, and also Zumba... I definately need to up the exercise!

I exercise every day...sometimes twice. 3 days a week I clean 5 horse stalls and ride my horse. On day's I don't ride I walk for 20 minutes at lunch. Almost every night I do an ab workout of sit ups, leg lifts, push ups and more sit ups for about 15 minutes. I did exercise before surgery but not as much or as vigarously.
