Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Just knocked off another goal. Tonight I walked 3 miles! Next up, 4!
I think everyone should set different goals for themselves after getting WLS, whether it be exercise wise or something else. It has really helped me. When I started my walking after surgery(10/15) I could barely do a half mile. I set a goal for a mile and hit it, then 1.5, then 2, and now 3. Great progress for someone still over 300 lbs and hadn't exercised at all in 10+ years. I also use the runkeeper app. It tracks distance, route, speed, elevation, time, etc...
In conclusion if you are not walking or not like you should be, just set an attainable goal and work from there! I promise you can do it! Best of luck to everyone on this journey!!!

I have to start walking. I am 15 days out and I have not walked in a week. I have noticed that I have not been feeling too well. My tummy has been a little finicky since I am able to eat solids. I do not have an appetite and the sight and smell of food makes me sick to my stomach.
Continue to keep up the great work and continue to be an inspiration to all of us!
