2 weeks post op and exercise



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 12/27 and the first week was great but I was feeling exhausted. Now, I just moved onto soft foods and for the last few days I've been feeling wonderful!

When can I start "hard core" workouts? I've been walking and going about my regular routine but am so excited to started the 30 day shread again. I'm going to call my doctor on Monday but would love any advice. Thanks!

I started back at the gym on the treadmill day four after surgery; gradually increased time and incline. At 2 weeks I was aloud to resume swimming.

The super glue on my incisions has come off already (less than two weeks) so I am trying to avoid the pool right now. I don't want any trouble.

I haven't gotten back to the gym yet, but will this afternoon/evening. I have to share a car with my son, so I have to work around his schedule. Then there is the trouble I have getting up and going in the mornings. ugh

Yesterdy was my first day back working out (post op 6 days)...today makes a week since my surgery. I take Zumba at my college for credit (yayy). Anyway, I had a great time, felt really good. I even had the younger students watching my every move. Most of the younger students in my class were Zumba virgins. I knew the most of the moves already and had a great time. Self proclaimed Zumbaholic!:P

No pain, no soreness afterwards. I must say having the right shoes helped quite a bit.

I felt nervous when I finshed , like I may have went back too early. So, I called my surgeon's office and asked was it okay? I was told to go at it easy starting out and slowly progress. But, no weight lifting or kick boxing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
