Exercising Again?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 5 weeks post op and although I was very active before surgery, I'm nervous about returning to a regular exercise regime. Does anyone have any advice on things they did differently or things to avoid? I love softball and dance, and want to incorporate some light weight lifting with my trainer.

Go slow.

I played an indoor soccer game 8 weeks to the date post op. I got through it, but looking back it was very stupid. I could not get enough Water to feel hydrated.

I currently play soccer 3-4 nights a week and I am training for a triathlon. You can do anything you set your mind to!!

I would check with my doctor, I started off just walking and then I got the approval to participate in aquaqerobics. Good luck my friend and congrats on your choice in being healthy.

Best to check with your surgeon. I just went for my two week check up and I can start regular excercixe. He did tell me if it hurts, don't do it. You may have to just try and take it easy at first. I'm just walking and going to start low impact aerobics tomorrow. Gonna take it slow.

      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! 😞
