Ab Work And Band?



Recommended Posts

I've been taking a body sculpting class, where we do a lot of an work. I've been two times and the dy after is always rough. Obviously my abs are sore, but it is the inside of my tummy that I'm worried about. It hurts like I have a stomach bug or something (kind of like that soreness you feel after having the stomach flu). Has anyone else experienced this?

I worked out on an ab cruncher machine and my tummy was sore too...not the muscles...but an internal kind pain...so I stopped. But i know i need to work my abs...just worried about it to.

I worked out with a personal trainer after I was banded and my abs were super sore but that is normal. Keep up the av work it will really help. The stronger your core the better you will feel.

Good luck!

I now my abs will require a lot of work so will be nice to see what the surgeon says about it .

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
