I don't believe any of us are "against" exercise. I have been a part of this community for 9 years now. For those of us who have been here a long time, we have seen too many people post things like, "I am burning 5000 calories a day, why am I not losing?" These same people refuse to watch what they eat. They mistakenly believe they are burning 5000 calories a day and that they can eat 3000 of them back. That mindset is where the trouble lies.

I never exercised pre-RNY. About 8 months post-op, I did begin to exercise. I exercised like crazy for about 2 years. Then life got in the way and I quit. I ate well, stuck to my plan, and I maintained my 200 pound loss for the next few years without a problem. My measurements stayed the same and I still fit into the same clothes. 

About a year ago, my boyfriend had a stroke. That turned my life around. I knew I had to exercise for my health, so that is what I do now.

Would like to share a story about a man on the Men's Forum from many years back.  I don't remember his name...But his story really touched me and most of the men on that forum.

You see there was this pond...Not a very big pond.  It was about 1/4 mile around.  The guy had this desire to walk around that pond.  My goal and your goals are different...His goal was different.  He was morbidly obese...Maybe 400-600 pounds.  He had his WLS and started losing quickly.  Before he would have to ride around Walmart in a cart.  Soon he was doing part walking, part riding.  As the weight came off he started taking on his driveway.  He would walk 1/2 the driveway...Then back home.  He finally was able to walk to the end of the driveway (probably with a cane) and get his mail.

Then came the pond...Many if not most obese people don't think much of a 1/4 mile pond...But to him it was a marathon...His marathon!!  He started walking it...Got a 1/3 way around it, then had to go back.  He pushed and pushed till one day he made it completely around the pond.  This brother had more guts in him that 1/2 the people who can find any and all excuses not to try.  Not to put 1 foot in front of the other and see what happens.  Just writing this brings me to tears...Again your goals and my goals are different.  The idea is to get healthy.  Even with his weight, he kept his eye on the prize.  How about you??

I do hot yoga and I always make sure I eat a light breakfast (a hardboiled egg or couple strips of bacon) about an hour prior. I have low blood pressure since surgery and all the ups and downs and sweating can make me feel faint. You want to make sure your blood sugar/blood pressure have some time to stabilize between waking up and working out. If you don't eat breakfast then at least a protein shake to get some calories in. 

Walk, walk and more walking. They don't want you to do much more than that until you are healed up.I could not even go back to wor****il my two months were up.
