So how long did you wait to start doing squats, lunges, etc after surgery? I have a nice size tush and I want to maintain/tone it as much as I can. The hope is to only lose some of it but mostly tone.

I have started after 3 weeks but I guess I am very much deconditioned. Felt tired after 10 squats, could do 50 when I was 25ibs heavier.

@hdd55146N probably 3 weeks just clear it with your surgeon.

It just felt right

I love this title but would be happy to give my big butt away! Love the song though. When postop did people return to exercising? I hear that walking is great postop immediately but when about weight training? I'm in a bariatric exercise class and just love it!

6 weeks for me and it's been a journey. Just keep pushing I guess.

This is the one thing I worry about! BUT my booty has been big all my life. Can't imagine it really going away. My surgery date is 10 Feb and the moment my doc clears me I'll be right back to square...sumo squats with kettle a bell.....leg lifts.....all of that!! I might even squat my eat out of his office

@ejd1024 too funny! Thanks for the laugh.

I'm going to check with my surgeon. I know he said no strength training until 6 weeks but maybe squats and the likes would be ok before then.
