Hello all...

Well, today I'm celebrating my 2 months post op but I'm struggling to know what kind of workouts should I do... I was going to do TRX but then I was afraid to go to the class.

PS: I hate jogging and Zumba... So pleae shower me with your options!

Much love,

Amira

Ideas : personal trainer and weight lifting ( you won't bulk up) yoga Pilates , cycling or spin class , boot camp type classes, check out what the different gyms offer in your area and ask around locally what there is to do. Just give things a try a few times. I hated jogging but I actually enjoy the 5k app, I just needed to find my way

I've been using my treadmill, swimming, and just took my first yoga class ever. Good luck!

Check with your surgeon - but at 2 months or 8 weeks out most will allow you to resume full workouts at this point. I went back to the gym at 6 week mark, and began lifting weights again.

Do what you enjoy, start small/reasonable and build up. It is no fun to over do it your first week and then quit!

I was very obese when I started, so Water aerobics were my first work outs. I loved it, felt so good. I stopped doing it when i wanted more intensity, but it helped me lose the first 70# or so!!!!

I was released to cardio and lifting 4 weeks post op

I have been going to the gym daily since January

If you are just starting an exercise habit...start slow and work yourself up.

Challenge yourself cardio on bikes and ellipticals or treadmill...either by uping your time or beating your distance in that time each week.

Good luck :)

      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! 😞
