How long until you worked out?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering how long you had to wait until you were able to start working out? I'm 6 days post op, down 9lbs but I'm going stir crazy! Still have 11 days until I can return to work.

I really didn't hit a routine until after my 4 week post-op appointments. But you can definitely go for walks! Just don't be surprised if you tire quickly. Good luck!

I had surgery on a Thursday. The following Monday morning I began a daily routine of walking 1 mile. I had no problems; my energy level was actually higher than the pre-op period.

Had my surgery a week ago Tuesday 2/4 and I have started to walk just a few minutes a day and build from there until I'm walking a lot more and I have a pedometer to help me build my minutes and steps

I was sleeved Jan 7th, I was cleared to work out Feb 3rd. I have been going to the gym 3 days a week since then (lifting weights, doing the stair master). My doctor just told me to go easy at first, especially with anything to do with my core. I feel great now, aside from not being able to eat much I don't even feel like I've been sleeved. :) If you contact your doctor I'm sure they will give you the time frame on when they want you to start working out I'm sure. Happy cardio!

Had my two week check up on Monday. Still not cleared to work out, but I start work again tomorrow. 70 hour work weeks are probably enough work out for me for the time being!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
