Should I be working out?

So I'm a pretty regular exerciser. And I recently started my two week liquid diet. My calorie intake is about 600-800 a day. And I think it's finally starting to get to me. I feel really weak and tired and it's only been a couple days.

Should I cut back on the exercise until after surgery or should I keep trying? Will I get use to this? Or is it going to get worse? I hate the idea of not working so im curious as to what other people did???

Congrats on your journey! Store as much energy as possible for the first week after surgery. I just kept to my pre-op diet and just as yourself I was weak from the reduced calories. I did not exercise hard just walked to improve blood flow.

Always exercise if you can. You don't have to go hard every single day. But I do try to do something every single day.

Even during the pre-op liquid diet, I always tried to get at least some light cardio work done. If you already exercise regularly, it should be a breeze.

Good luck!
