Post Op Day 3 / Joined a gym

By Mikissa

· 432 views

Well, I have been moving around to keep the soreness down and it has worked beautifully. Two days ago was the surgery and I came home and didn't even lay down. I got up feeling better the next day and even quite a lot better this morning. Can't wait for tomorrow to get here. I also joined a gym tonight. I feel like a crazy person but I'm trying to invest in this lifestyle change.

    I hope you just joined and didn't do anything. Let yourself heal. Then have a great time at the gym.

    It is important that you don't do any weight lifting or strenuous exercise for at least the 1st 4 - 6 weeks. Start out slow with walking and bike riding. My doc didn't recommend eliptical until 4 weeks post-op. Even though you feel great you can cause damage to you stomach and band area if you not carefull. Onward Slowly...

    Yes your correct. I just joined but haven't done anything there until I get a release from my Dr to do the exercise there. :):)

    Great advice. I joined but I haven't done any exercise until I get a release to do the exercise there. Onward slowly is right on the money.:)
