When did you guys go back to the gym after surgery? What was your progression of working out? The only thing I've really been told is to not lift weights for 6 months. I used to do about 45-60 minutes of elliptical 3-5 times per week and a Zumba or Yoga class. I miss it! I was sleeves 3/28/16

My doctor told me on Tuesday that I had no restrictions but to listen to my body. I was sleeved 3/29. I'm back to the gym just being careful.

What are you doing at the gym for your workout? I feel like I could go back and start back up on the elliptical and just progress from there

First month was nothing but walking. Month two was light weighs. I started increasing everything by 10% per week after that. Started C25K month 5 with hot yoga. And that is the story of my post WLS life. ;-)

I was walking right after surgery. Progressed on to other cardio workouts for an hour 6 days a week. If you still have your resistance bands from St Luke's. Its a good way to start toning until you are released to weight lifting.

I'm now in maintenance. I jog 6 miles to 13.1 miles. I lift 3 days a week for an hour. The weather is getting nice in Boise. I will be out mountain biking, hiking and floating the river soon.

@@jenn1 I have been walking every day with my dogs, just thinking I feel ready to go back to the gym and do more cardio workouts. I never received any resistance bands, but I'll look into that. Thanks!

I was sleeved 3/4. I walked only for the first three weeks and am now starting my third week back at cross fit. I've been feeling good with no pain. My only struggle has been getting more than 100 grams of Protein in. I am down 50 pounds since my surgery date.

@206vette1 you've already lost 50 lbs?? Wow! If I may ask what was your starting weight? I was sleeved 1/25/16 and have lost 43 lbs. I have a hard time getting in all my Protein. I was type 2 diabetic and fibromyalgia my muscle tone is really loosened up, which I really don't want to end up looking like a piece of Jello ???? I'll be turning 53 in a couple of weeks and getting back into shape just isn't as easy as it was. Taking it slow. I'm a walker.

I was 405 the day of surgery. I'm 38 and was a full scholarship

Division 1 football player in the 90's. I was always in great shape but my significant weight gain started after I had three hip replacements on the same hip a couple years ago. I was non weight bearing for several months and gained significant weight throughout the recovery. I am also 6'3 and have quite a bit of muscle mass! I walked for at least an hour a day starting the day after surgery and started working out hard three weeks ago. I am working on losing weight and getting my hips back in shape at the same time. Good luck.

      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?

      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
