Hi Everyone,

I may be wishful thinking:-)

However, after surgery exercise is key. I'm aware that strenuous exercise isn't advised. Now with that being said, could I have a few of you weigh in on the thought of line dancing or Salsa for exercise? Also any post ops reading this thread how long did it take you to feel like line dancing or anything in that nature?

A month should be fine.

Line dancing isn't exactly digging ditches.

I would think Salsa would burn more calories. Zoomba would give you a good start because it teaches you basic steps for several latin dances.

That sounds fun too! When are you starting? I was telling my gf ...I got fat doing nothing just working (sitting) 8 hrs or more,sleeping, eating and sometimes sex...lol when I'm up for it. And at my weight now it ain't often. With My New Life I Want To do All The Things I Said I Want To Do ... but never did...Salas was something I wanted to do. yoga etc....

I'm going to be off for at least 8wks starting new healthy situations and habits will be a goal for me. Moving more, enjoying people and life . Getting away from just sitting and sleeping. ^_^

My surgeon told me to do NOTHING that uses core muscles for 6 weeks post-op. I think line dancing would be okay, but certainly not salsa dancing.... the twisting of the core wouldn't be good. He even considered telling me not to ride my stationary bike because it uses core muscles to keep me upright. He said the incisions may be healed but the insides aren't.

Be careful

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
