ok, so i am 11 days out of surgery and am feeling fine, and i want to know when others actually got out and started spicing up their workouts. I have been walking but i wanna ride the bike or hop on the elliptical. i was working out every day until my surgery and have always been fairly active and now since im not hurting i feel i should be doing more.

I wish I could hit the "LIKE" button multiple times..........because your post deserves it.

I asked my surgeon the same question........he said to not lift anything heavy for two weeks.........but to keep moving every day. He was all about the treadmill and elliptical as soon as I felt like it......1-3 weeks out.

I second @@Dub - get on that elliptical! Start slowly just to make sure you have the energy you think you have, then you can kill it! I haven't missed a day at the gym since I was 3 weeks out of surgery. It's my favorite part of the day!! Endorphins buzzing, serotonin & dopamine releasing, fat cells being obliterated, muscle being earned...makes me soo happy!!

I have been given a 2kg lifting capacity for the first 4 weeks. No gym work for 6 weeks. I was told that you can run the risk of hernias, adhesions and multiple other complications. I'm listening to this advice. I have seen a friend who didn't and she developed seromas that needed to be drained. No thanks!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
