What's your workout routine?



Recommended Posts

Wow, you are all amazing! I'm only a month out, and two weeks out from gallbladder surgery, but I just can't even imagine exercising right now. I do walk about a mile a day right now to work and out lunch, but I'm really looking forward to implementing some of your routines when I'm allowed.

I wear a Fitbit and do lots of walking throughout the day. Also, at least 4 days at the gym/week an hour a time. Alternate days of swimming/water jogging with weights and weights/treadmill. I started back again at week 6. Am 2 months and 2 days out. Before surgery, I was doing 6 days/week... Hoping to get back to that:)

<p>I don't really have a "schedule".. I go either once or twice day. Either the gym, or at home.. I run a lot.. I do weights.. I cycle.. I try to get it in whenever I can. Some days I run at lunch and weight train at night..</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I have always worked out, so I was walking when I got home from surgery. I was jogging at 4 days post op, and I think I went back to spinning 2 weeks after with light weights. At a month out I was back to my full schedule, with mild weights.. back to heavy weightlifting at 6 weeks.</p>

I'm just a week from 3 months post op and have been working out 4-5 days per week, and I usually do some non structured activities on the weekends. I have been doing workouts at home, videos from youtube and my cables on demand option as well as HIT circuits and resistance bands. I mix it up every night for something different. I plan on getting out and walking again after all the snow melts, I have a chiweenie and he loves his walks when I get home from work. I hope to work up to running this spring.

Just under 3.5 months out from sleeve surgery.

It took me longer than I wanted to get back into a routine. Also had a hernia repaired at the time of sleeve surgery.......hoping the doc gives me the go for weight training on my next visit, next week.

Bought a fitbit prior to surgery and am trying to reach the point where I hit 10K per day.....every day.....work days and off days.

Will be adding some weight training as doc and time permits.

10K everyday.....and with training 3 times per week is that I want to settle in on.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
