    Walking is great exercise !!! I live in Orlando, Florida. It's so hot, that I find it more comfortable to do 30 minutes on the elliptical machine in front of a fan, in the air conditioning and in front of the TV, I also like to swim laps. I have a waterproof MP3 player, so I put on my headphones and hit the pool. Swimming, for me is like relaxation, meditation and exercise all at the same time. There is no impact, and it uses every muscle in the body.

    I agree that walking is better than nothing, but I do think you need to add another activity to take advantage of your post-op recovery. I was sleeved in March 2013, and see it as giving me a year to incorporate a lifestyle change to prevent a "relaspe". I added biking as a low impact exercise and commute to work for my daily exercise. I plan to also incorporate an weight workout in the coming weeks.

    Keep walking and keep looking for new activities. Find one you enjoy and immerse yourself in it.
