Sunday...Easy. Did a little pruning...Rode my bike around the block.
Monday...Weedeatted, mowed, and blew off my daughter's back yard. She has a large lot.
Tuesday...Today. Rode my bike. Went to the sales yard/flea market...Got a massage. Rode home, then rode to my brother's house (dropped off the family medical history...It's good to have for kids and grandkids). Then rode to the coffee shop (got a 1/2 chef salad and hot tea)...I later will add more vegetables to the salad (it will last me 3-4 days sometimes). Then rode to Walgreens to pick up a medication...Then rode home...About 5 miles total. Later I plan to pick oranges off two trees at the farm. And then pick up some brush to put in a recycle trash can later.
The rest of the week I don't know. It looks like rain Thursday and Friday. I'll play it by ear. Brian
Lots of bodyweight exercises can be done at home.
Lots of good stuff on youtube and cable....exercise along with the instructors on your television.
As already stated, though.....walking is your best bet while you are healing.
Live, love and make the most out of what your surgeon has done for you...........live your life without excuses and without regrets.
That's awesome!
I think it's definitely a combination of building your cardio endurance and losing the weight. Here's a link to a question I asked about running a little while ago. I think you'll find it useful.sorry my phone won't let me hotlink for some reason: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/fitness/6014213/Question-a bout-running/

So, I have not been doing intense exercise since my WLS; just walking about 2-3 miles per day, which is kinda good I suppose? Last night I went to the park and walked over 2 miles (4 miles in my whole day). Lately, I've been having a lot of dreams that I'm able to jog and not feel tired, and I'd wake up feeling slightly disappointed to realize that it was just a dream. I haven't been able to run without feeling tired for about 9 years now (I gained a ton of weight at age 17 because of oral steroids; they made me obsessed with food). So, last night, I had this intense urge to jog. I started jogging and I was able to jog for about a minute without feeling tired. I know that doesn't sound like much, but before, I'd jog for about 5 seconds and feel as if I was about to collapse.
My questions are: Is it easier because I've lost over 65 pounds? Is it easier because I've been walking a bit more? Both?
I mean, I can even walk faster than before. I'm able to walk faster than people in the store and at work, which is a miracle because I'm 5'2'' and I have Hobbit legs. Imagine a chubby little bird speed-walking across the parking lot with it's tiny stick legs. That's me.
I'd love if some of you could share your progress stories on energy and exercise. Thanks so much! 
I think they still do it in our area. As a matter of fact, I think the local mall even had "mile markers" actually I think it was .25 mile marker signs. Best bet would be to call the Administration Office of the local mall and ask if they have designated times. Not sure if you work outside the home, but even if the mall doesn't open early for a designated program, it's probably not too busy right at opening.

Have a fabulous, fit, week!
Here's my situation. I live out in the sticks, in farmland. Right now, walking for any length of time outside just gets to be unpleasant, since the wind seems to have been blowing steadily since December. Normally it would not bother me, but with this weight loss, I get colder faster. I don't even have a decent fitting coat, and am not spending money on one for the rest of this season. It isn't a matter of can't as much as it is won't. ;-)
My gym membership is going to expire soon, and I am not going to renew it. And I refuse to get on their little inside track and orbit around with all the other bipedal hamsters.
I am not a mall person by any stretch, and avoid them like the plague when they are infested with shoppers. But I remember back in the day when they opened up early, before business hours, for geezers and such to walk the perimeter. Do they still do that? Spring is coming, and I will be out wandering the back roads soon enough. But in the meantime...
A little bit of a cut back week.
Monday-rest. needed it.
Tuesday-4 mile run that I'll probably make closer to 6

VSG: 3/12/15
Please check with you doctor on the squats but yes you can lose and tone up with squats. Walking right now is the best thing you can do until you get clearance to start exercising
Since it has not been started yet and I know it is late I thought I start it anyhow.
Monday was bike ride on trainer
Tuesday hill running 6 times up this one beast of a hill
Wed Master swim and some strength training
Thursday 45 minute run
Friday swim
Saturday 90 minute run
Sunday just a nice walk
