Exercise

Hello guys! I tried to do a very basic exercise video to tone my inner thighs (it was about 10 minutes) and it damn near killed me. I had the sleeve about a month and a half ago and I feel like someone has sucked the life source out of me. I felt dizzy and needed to rest after. At my heaviest, I could workout harder than this. Is this normal? My cousin who was sleeved was RUNNING after her surgery. I am afraid to even try it again. Anyone else experience this?

Maybe you're not eating enough Protein before your workout. I was having dizzy spells and it was because I wasn't eating enough and possibly dehydrated.

How active were you before surgery? I was doing water aerobics 3 times a well pre-op. I resumed on week 3 and I can do the entire 1 hour class no problem.

I had to same problem. I do my workout 5 in the morning. Its too early for me to eat so I just drink my protein shake. But I will have kind of fruit (usually a banana),milk and either yogurt or peanut butter for more protein. Once I started this, I was fine. My NUT told me it was my sugar levels. I needed eat something.

I wasn't very active before the surgery. But I was able to walk 3.25 miles and I was 40 lbs heavier than I am now. I think my nutrition may be the problem.

Yes it's probably nutritional. I was so weak and exhausted until about 2 months out. Now I'm a little under 3 months and have tons of energy and can eat whatever... Just give it time. ????
