What's your workout routine?

Apologies if I didn't find this in my search, but I'd like to know how far out from surgery you are and what your workout routine is.

I'm just over a month from my sleeve, but a gallbladder removal set me back another month before I can start working out. Personally, I'll be working out at home using my heavy bag, treadmill, weights, bicycle and a yoga mat. I'll miss swimming but a gym membership is too expensive so we got the treadmill instead.

Even if you go to the gym- what do you do? How many days, which exercises, etc.?

Thanks- I hope this helps others too.

    I am 6 months post op and went back to the gym about the 1 month mark, when the dr said I could go back. I started doing light aqua aerobics 2-3 times a week. Once it started getting colder ( there is

  • Whatever it is I may do, Aerobic Activity is #1...everything else is essential, but secondary.

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>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.

6wks post sleeve. 3x week gym..40 min elliptical 20 min weights. I'd like to get up to 5x a week.
