Day 6 - and back to the gym I went!



Recommended Posts

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
