Day 6 - and back to the gym I went!

[Cknorte 7]

I had surgery last Thursday, all is good and I am feeling pretty normal, I have discomfort on the incision spots but other than that I'm feeling pretty good....

I went back to the gym today, back to cardio. I am still on clears, and so I took it easy. I talked to my trainer and he had me start with 5-7 minutes of cardio on 3 machines (bike,treadmill and elliptical) he wants me to add a minute a day for the next week so I can get back to my 40-45 minutes of cardio pre surgery.

I got a little sweat in, I didn't feel light headed, came home, showered and alcohol-ed down my incisions...just precaution from after gym....but all is good...

So far so good.....

Really??? That's amazing...I'm thinking of taking at least 3 weeks to a month off to heal. Maybe that's too long? Congrats on such a speedy recovery!!

Congratulations, CK... you inspire me like crazy. I can't BELIEVE you went to the gym after 6 days, though. Do be careful about causing bleeding, but then I guess your trainer should know what to do.

I can't wait till its ME saying that.... although I was finally just Insurance approved for lap band surgery after a 6-month fight, I decided I didn't want it anymore. In the six months since I started my insurance fight, GPS (VSP to some) came along... I wanna be a stomach stitcher!!!

Best of luck to you. Rainyrue

That's so awesome, I'm gonna miss the gym A LOT after surgery. Great to know I can go back after a week or so (after checking with my surgeon of course).

Congrats, I also had surgery on thursday! I have had it pretty easy. From the hospital waking me up every hr to walk the hallways, I decided to get on my treadmil every hr for just 5 min. It adds up, at the end of a day, I get in 45-55 mins in. Good luck on your journey
