I do a minimum of a hour in a half. For some reason it takes a lot of exercise for me to burn enough calories to lose lbs

I found this cool guidelines that was published by one of the bariatric hospitals that might be helpful...

I exercise every Mon, Wed, and Fri for approx 40 minutes at water fitness... I am adding land exercise starting tomorrow for another 45 minutes to strengthen and tone....

I also do my WII fit on occasion at home.. I do the aerobic exercises for 25 minutes but only on days when I don't go the fitness class...

I walk for four miles 6 days a week. Also do some squats and counter push ups. My weight loss really slows when I don't exercise.

I do the gym for about 2 hours 4 to 5 days a week. Also walk all I can at work.

Exercise is a lifestyle, not just something we do at the gym. Taking the stairs, walking through stores, flexing our muscles, fidgeting...all forms of exercise! Every day try to move more than you did the day before.

During my melt-down phase, I tried to move and exercise throughout the day. I'd do "counter push-ups" every time I walked through the kitchen. While I waited for the water to boil for my tea, I'd do leg-lifts and squats. I'd take 15 minute walks several times a day. I kept hand-weights by the couch and used them during commercials.

I didn't start formal "going to the gym" -type exercises until I was over a year out and at my target weight. Then I kinda went exercise crazy....I was doing Zumba twice a week, Boxing Bootcamp and Amp'd Abs twice a week, Pilates once a week and Yoga once a week...And then I added personal training twice a week and began climbed a mountain once a week...oh, and a bootcamp once a week. That worked for awhile until I added running to the mix. I was totally overtraining and my knee started giving me problems. Yeah. Overtraining sucks.

Supposedly, optimal training is aerobic activity 3x a week and weight resistance training 2-3 times a week.

I was walking 2 miles to walk dvd every M-F mornings at 5:30am then walking 1/2 hour on my lunch hour and going to the gym 3-4 days week. I recently quit doing the 2 mile walk in morning and lunch time cause it isn't raising my heart rate up enough to do much good but I do strength training at home every morning, 40 sit ups, 125 squats and other stuff. I still go the gym 3-4 times a day focusing mainly on strength training (weights) since I am at my person weight goal and don't want to loose anymore weight but do 10 min on the treadmill to warm up before weights and 20 min on the ellipitical after weights each time at the gym. I also bike ride 30 min to an hour each day too since I bought my new bike last week.
You really do need to do exercise when you have WLS I feel. It keeps the weight coming off I feel. I only had 1 or 2 stalls during my phase of loosing weight after my sleeve surgery on 6/11/12. Drinking 80 oz of water is very important and getting 80-100 grams of protein a day too. I feel this is why I didn't have alot of stalls.
Good luck!
