Generally, How long after surgery can you start pretty easy looking senior fitness classes at the gym?

I was cleared to do pretty much everything except for weights at four weeks out (although walking I could do right away, of course...)

p.s. I had to wait eight weeks before doing weights.

I was cleared for light cardio 4 weeks and full game on Cross fit and weights at 12 weeks- Good choice you will shred the pounds and get tighter as you are losing weight.

As usual, every surgeon's recommendation is different and a lot of it will depend on you personally.

I was allowed back to gym and lifting weights at my two week appt but I was fairly fit prior to surgery. And had a very easy RNY with no pain or complications.

I would definitely defer to your surgeon as every individual is different.

But hey in the meantime you can walk your tushy off.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
