Working out and your stages



Recommended Posts

Can you all chime in and tell me at what stage did you feel comfortable doing certain things? Im 2 weeks 5 days post op...and my husband is an avid gym enthusiast... I would go to the gym with him...and i want to go back...TO WALK..see how my body does...and i mean slow walk to start...

The only restriction i have is no lifting over 15lbs. Which i don't plan to do any lifting for a while...

***So curious where did you start when you went back and what where you comfortable doing***

Yes i know im healing and YES I WILL take it easy not looking to hurt myself but walking around the house/work is not enough exercise

Hi! I am almost 3 weeks out and I started walking when for 2-3 minutes at a time when I got home from the hospital and slowly increased it. I am now walking 10 minutes twice a day. I get tired out, but after resting, I get better. Everyone is different. My surgeon told me to listen to my body and that is what I do. Feeling really good!

I'm two weeks out and I walk 1 1/2 miles every day. My legs hurt and I'm drained so as soon as I'm done I relax for a few hours to let my body regroup.

Walking is a great start. Do what you can. Don't push it. You will do just fine.

​Good morning,

​I am 8 weeks out and I began walking about 1 week after surgery. Like all the others say, start out slow and listen to your body. I started at 20 minutes walking my dog per day. I am now walking her on hiking trails about 45 minutes to an hour. All the up and down walking on hiking trails sure makes for some hard, good exercise! Start out slow and you will do great, best of luck!

40 minutes is pretty good. You listen to your body and that is important. No need to tickle the stitches [emoji4]

I just walked some until I was cleared to get in the pool. I do most of my exercise in the Water.< /p>

My surgeon also recommended me to swim. Less aggressive on the body. I wait for the weather to be a bit warmer (I am cold all the time now!) before I give it a try.

I am 3 weeks out and I have been walking the last week 30-45 min. I listen to my body and I have found discomfort usually comes from gas [emoji948][emoji3]

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
