I have not had surgery yet... Wish I had more to say from that standpoint!
I do know movement is important for us for so many reasons, and I also know it can be tough to find exercise you can enjoy. But I believe they are out there. The first step is the hardest! For me, it is water aerobics that I love, but even with that said, I have not been in over a week. I have NEVER regretted going once I am there, but I've been kinda depressed lately and getting there has been a chore!

Make you a deal? I'll go to my class on Wednesday and you do some exercise. Remember, it does not have to be an hour on a treadmill.... maybe just a walk to the end of the driveway and back (or whatever!)

HUGS!!

your 15 days out from surgery and down 10 pounds. A lot of people come out of surgery weighing a little more than when they went in. Your body is still in recovery. Walking is good to help in the recovery process just walk a little bit around your house, to the end of the driveway and back. Don't let the nut make you feel bad you have lost weight in the first few days after surgery you making progress in the right direction. As I am reminded of so much by the people here when have you lost that amount of weight in that little of time?

Sounds like you may not be getting enough protein in your diet. I fix a chocolate protein latte for breakfast daily. 34 gms of protein. If I find myself feeling hungry in the evening I have another one. My nut told me to have 70-80 gms of protein daily. Try upping your protein and see if that helps.

You have lost 10 pounds in 15 days right after your surgery! That is GREAT! I don't know why your nut. was upset with you. That is just crazy. Like anewelly said most people end up gaining weight due to the ivs and swelling right after surgery, I know I gained like 12 or more pounds. You should be proud of yourself. You are doing awesome! Try doing walking. Check out the Leslie Sansone walk at home tapes. I love them! You CAN do this!
