Hi everyone .... I am 3 weeks out... I want to go back to working out lightly like Zumba class. I feel good and realize I have to go easy.

When did you start going back to exercising.

Thanks for any answers you could give me (:

To go back to something like Zumba I was about six weeks out... At three weeks I was doing about ten minutes on the elliptical and speed walking around the block.

You can start an easy program, such as walking as soon as you feel up to it. Strenuous exercises, like weight lifting, should wait six weeks. Maybe, the Zumba fans on here can offer their opinions?

I went back to Zumba at either 3 or 4 weeks out, but skipped the gyrating lol. I didn't move as I normally would....kinda eased back into it.

Wow dacing that way is too early at four weeks I was walking on the treadmill for an hour then at sixth week I started the elliptical so that increased to 2 hours a day. When I felt I could move around more I started zumba that was about at 8 weeks. So I started to alternate between treadmill and zumba or elliptical and zumba or treadmill and elliptical. Started at 299.8 and Im currently at 190 lbs at 9 months op

      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! 😞
