How long Post Op did you start doing aerobics again?



Recommended Posts

I teach Zumba 4 times a week currently.. and I'm really afraid that it's going to take me forever to get back to teaching my classes once i am banded. I can keep it at low impact, and reduce ab work.. but when i ask my surgeon he tells me "a few weeks". I guess I'm looking for a more difinitive answer, and maybe some personal stories if you returned to aerobics!

I had my first Zumba class ever 3 wks after surgery and was fine other than being out of shape and trying to figure out those moves. It didn't hurt my incisions or stomach at all. I probably could have done it in my second week but it was that TOM and I just wanted to make sure I was good and healed because I didn't really know what to expect in the class. By the way I love Zumba it's so much fun!!

Good luck!!

My surgeon has told me 2 weeks and I can return to exercising. =) I'm not there yet though or I'd help more.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
