I started working out pretty hard 6 months before my surgery. I would sweat profusely within minutes of starting. I'm right at 3 months post-op and I'm doing my same cycles with cardio and weight training but with more intensity and longer duration and I'm sweating a lot less. Like just my collar is wet....not my whole shirt like in days pass.. anyone else run into this? When i work out I like to walk out of the gym looking like I got dunked in a pool....
I had my surgery on April 28th, 2021 at astonishing 444 (481 was my highest recorded...July 2020). So far I'm down to 355! Everyone I've talked to says I'm flying with my weight loss compared to others......anyone else have the pounds and inches melt away this quick?
All depends on how strenuous your work is. My job is pretty labor intensive so I took a full 6 weeks but I know some that was back at work within 2. Just be honest with the surgeon when you go to post op appts. on how you're feeling...
I had surgery on April 28th and within 2 weeks I was feeling "normal" until I started trying to be as active as I was before hand. Just walk as much as possible but try not to break a hard sweat until a few weeks out. It'll be a struggle to get your fluid intake at first and it won't be any easier if you put out more than you take in.....this is spoken from experience.
Try cutting carbs down to 30 or less a day and try to kick start you body into ketosis. I hit a wall at a month out and gave that a shot. Not only will it be clean eating but energy levels will rise. All of this was recommended by my nutritionist and doc. Keep your head up. Rome wasn't built in a day!
