I had surgery October 24, 2012 I lost 8 lbs.prior to surgery working with a Nutritionist and excercising and I have went from 230 lbs to 201 lbs since surgery. I have continued to excercise with the exception of the 3 week waiting period after surgery.
I do Water arobics and Water zumba. I try to attend these classes for one hour, 4 times a week and I'm proud when I make it at 3 times a wk. The excercises are low impact because you are in the water and most pools have a handicapped chair that can get you in and out of the water versus using the pool ladder.
I recently started back to weight lifting/weight machines this week but I've only done that once this week. The Holidays are keeping me busy.
Most gyms, YMCA's and KROC Centers(Salvation Army) offer these classes. Water Zumba is fun, but you get a more intense workout with water arobics.Give it a try, it is really helping me a lot and it increases your energy level, also
it helps you heal quicker. I am 66 years old.
