Ok so if your two weeks post op what exercise program are you doing?

Last monday I signed up at PF and have been going every day till Friday. I plan on going to the gym Monday - Friday and taking my 2 days off on the week end. I seen a trainer on Friday and he is putting together a strength training program for me to start Next week. so I think he said it will be every other day strenght training and the other days cardio. So Last week I worked out Monday - Friday for 1 hr each time. And That is what I would like to stick to 1 hr a day Monday - Friday.

So What do you plan to do for exercise???

I love this thread! I had a really great routine before surgery so my plan is to resume that. Just wish my energy was what it was before surgery :(

 

2 days a week I meet with a personal trainer for 1 hour. I do elliptical and weights with her.

 

The other 3 days, I will exercise for at least 30 minutes. I have an elliptical at home, so it will either be that, wii fit (I LOVE my MJ experience dance game), walk or workout DVD.

 

I used to go to Zumba every Monday night so my goal is to resume some type of exercise class in June.

Wish you lived closer so we could go together! Dancing is my favorite kind of workout too. It's a mental release for me and doesnt feel like "work".

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but since losing 29lbs I don't find that the excercise is as hard as it was before the weight loss I was on the treadmill and usually after 1/2 hour my heart rate would go over 200 and I would need to stop now it is steady at 140 yippee!!!

I havent started anything. I have my kids all day everyday and its difficult to get a regimen going, but I try to incorporate things that we can do together like dancing or chasing each other around the house. Little things like that. Oh and go for walks. Thats all I can do right now. I have Zumba on Xbox Kinect and The Biggest Loser on Kinect, when I have the time, I try to do that but my kids always wants to be involved and if you have a Kinect you know how sensitive the sensor is, theres no way I could ever make it :D

 

But my oldest daughter will be starting pre school in August so I'll have more time (hopefully) to workout. My little one sleeps for hours during nap time :)

 

I need to do something thats for sure

3 weeks PO tomorrow and I have to start something! I finally feel like I am recovered enough to start the treadmill and some light weights. Dr says not to lift more than 10 pounds for 4 weeks. I really thought I would have started exercising sooner but my recovery period was a bit rough. I had a hernia repaired during the lap band surgery and that really took it out of me! I can finally breathe! Tomorrow I hit the treadmill...no more excuses :)

I'm treadmilling it or walking around the lake that has a 1 mile track around it. That worked for me before my surgery, hoping that continues. I am even looking into buying a used treadmill that I can use at home. Cheaper than the gym in the long run, and I think I'd do it longer or more than once a day if it was more convenient.

lalaj: exercise is the key, do something even if its only for 15-20 minutes. would your children participate in a walk or bike ride? If the Kinect is too sensitive for your children to participate, what about a regular DVD workout?

 

The best way to start an exercise program is just to start :)

sleepyone405--Bought a treadmill and few years ago and it's been a great investment. There really is no excuse not to work out it's right there in your house! :)

 

So I didn't treadmill it yesterday but did get out for walk. Plan to do the same today.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
