  1. Post-Op Exercise Limitations for Very Active Pre-Op Patient?

    Sara Gallagher posted a topic in Fitness & Exercise
    Most of the bariatric surgery websites I've visited promote very modest post-op fitness goals (walking 20 minutes, three times a week for the first six months.) I'm currently 255 lbs (down from 280 in March) and plan to have Sleeve surgery in August (ideally at 230 lbs.) I'm very active (in the gym 1-2 hours a day, every day) doing balanced activities from cardio to circuit training to yoga. I really don't want to lose too much progress (or lean muscle mass) post-op, but I also want to be realistic about what I will be able to do given the very low post-op calorie intake. Is what I'm reading accurate for everyone, or does it assume that most bariatric patients will be new to exercise?
