I have been walking 3 miles a day since I was 3 weeks post op and at month 4 -5 I didn’t see a weight change. It wasn’t until month 5 that I put exercise into high hear and weight lifting and doing HIIT that I started seeing a loss again. That’s for reminding me the importance of protein and muscle! 💪🏽

[@hotsaucezx10]

I'm 3 weeks PO and been getting it in in the gym.. You got to remember you will lose muscle mass. You need to work on it as you go unless you want to be a flabby. Plus it will boost your loss

Thank you for your video DR I had my vsg surgery in August 2019 and as of to March 2021 I’ve lost 180lb my tip is to start to exercise when you heal do not do cardio use resistance bands concentrate on stench and tone this will start to tighten your skin as the weight comes of I have a bit of loose skin on my arms and a bit on my belly and that’s it best decision I m to have my surgery love from the uk 🇬🇧

[@stephaniehart7761]

Hello Dr. Alvarez, another doctor on KZbin says that we shouldn’t exercise after wls. Thank you for confirming my gut instinct.

[@jmemixx]

That’s insane advice can’t believe they said that

[@MakeupbyJane]

I don’t think he says don’t exercise he says focus on getting the basics down first.

[@CorbettG]

Thanks Dr Alvarez you really put this importance of exercise into perspective for me I know the benefits but preserving muscle mass and increasing metabolism key factors here

[@KBeautyNyc]

Hi Mariko! What I can recommend is avoid lifting heavy weights, you should rest at least 2 weeks or until your surgeon give you green light.

Hi Rufat! Sure, any exercise can be helpful, but remember, you need to build your body muscles in specific areas, so we recommend that you check out a sport like soccer or maybe swimming.

Hi I’m nearly 2years after my gastric sleeve surgery i an now 70kg i was 188kg, my question is how much protein & calories should i be eating to build muscle? Im a bit confused because i heard before or bodies don’t burn calories the same way it used to and i dont want to put back on fat, Thanks

[@Endobariatric]

Hello Daniel! I recommend to visit a nutritionist specialized in bariatric surgery, everybody is different and he/she will be able to help you.

[@hotsaucezx10]

My surgeon office from New York bariatric group said that if you're below 5'10 you should have at least 80 g of protein it's height-rated to make it easier maybe you should consider buying protein shots in addition to your meals and drinks to meet your goal the most protein the better id say but drink clear fluids to prevent constipation I'm no doctor but this is just my intuition and opinion
