I had previously taken the Zumba class at the YMCA I am in my 2nd week post-op. Do you think I can go back to my excerside routines?

Before trying out the zumba class at the YMCA I pulled up a lot of videos on youtube just to get a feel of the types of moves that they were going to be doing...lol.... I felt so out of place my 1st time going but I had confidence about the moves because alot of them were the same as the ones I tried out on youtube. I love the fact that I "practiced" at home in the comfort of my own living room before going public with it. I really have no coordination/rhythm at all and definately not a dancer...lol

When I cant make it to the YMCA I turn to youtube :rolleyes:. There are alot of zumba videos that ive falling in love with on there.

I think that's definitely a question for your doctor. When i left the hospital 1 day post op he told me to continue life as normal..and he knew what my normal was. I did my zumba class 2 days post op with minimal abdominal movement and overall i had only missed 1 class. After about a week I felt awesome, better than I did before surgery! Ask your doc, and try and see what happens! I also found a compression garment helped a lot in zumba because it held my belly still when i jumped around.

My doc told me to return to normal life and i was determined to not get the NO2 gas pains and heal quickly. I think by moving around all the time it helped me recouperate much faster!

YOU COULD BE THE NEXT INSTRUCTOR AT YOUR GYM! Give it a shot :-)

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
