Is zumba soon after the sleeve OK?

Since zumba involves a lot of twisting and bending, it might be good to wait until you are cleared for regular exercise. In the meanwhile, walk, walk, walk.

I do elliptical, treadmill, bike riding & the Biggest Loser workouts (of course not all at the same time, I change it up each workout).

I am 3 wks out and started Zumba last Friday at 2.5 wks. My dr said do what I want after 2, listening to my body and avoiding crunches. I just do the Zumba to the best of my ability and don't twist and turn that much. Good luck!

I started Zumba once I was cleared at 2weeks. I couldn't do much the 1st time due to some dull pains at the incision sites and fatigue due to calories but now I am 4.5 weeks out and I am back in the game (pre wls I did Zumba every week for over a year) and I feel great! I have felt a little dizzy but I just modify it. I have also been swimming laps which I had enjoyed prior to WLS. When I was younger swimming laps helped me lose a lot of weight and toned my entire body. I'm hoping to get back to that post sleeve. Swimming is very good for the sleeve because its not strenuous but burns a lot of calories.

For me, I dance twice a week and than walk another day. I am almost 3 weeks post op but couldn't wait to get back in the dance studio. I just modified some of my moves so I dont bend as much. Its a modern/lyrical class

Walking is a very good starter tool. I try to walk 2 miles every day. Next week I start back with my personal trainer. :) yay!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
