Exercising on pre op diet



Recommended Posts

I am starting my pre op diet (full liquids) on Tuesday. Can anyone who has done this tell me if they exercised?

I have my surgical consult on Monday, and will ask then, but I'm curious as to whether or not anyone has done that, or do you not have energy?

I was terrified I wouldn't lose the weight in time for my surgery date and I was told he cancels if you do not meet the expected loss, so you bet I was exercising my butt off! I walked everyday during my lunch and then came home and used my treadmill, it worked, I lost more than needed before my surgery and it got me on my way :

Good luck to you!

I walked on the treadmill, but it was a very slow walk. It was hard to find the energy, but I wanted to have a quick recovery from surgery and walking helps with that.

Do you need to take some weight off before he/she will do the surgery on you? If not than exercise away. No GOOD weight loss Doctor is going to tell you to not exercise. (except for a short period of time after the surgery)

Thank you all very much. I have been exercising, and I do have a lot of weight to lose. I'll find out on Monday if my surgeon tells me if and how much.

I've been exercising for quite a while, even before I considered lap band surgery, so I'm hoping it just means I have a head start on things.

My doctor didn't have me lose any weight before surgery. I did try exercising with the pre-op diet and didn't do so well. My body rebelled, I got very dizzy when I was tired. I didn't start the gym until I went on mushies. Then I felt better. Best of luck to you!

Thank you, Diane. I'm thinking that maybe I'll just go on the treadmill and not try anything else. It will help with all the nervousness I know I'll feel.

      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.
