Activity Question



Recommended Posts

Hey all. Every month I give my mom a massage (I was a certified massage therapist) and she called to ask when I might be able to resume them. I know no lifting for a few weeks. I'd be using my body, pushing and pulling but not lifting.

I'd wait until your incisions have healed, then go at it. And I'm sure I'll never say this again, but I wish I was your mom!

LOL Jonathan.

I know, I wish there was another therapist in the family so I could get them too!

I'm hoping with weight loss, I will feel well enough to go back to my career. I loved it.

Cool, do you travel? LOL (I'm in North Carolina, haha)

I'd say wait until you are getting adequate nutrition before you expend too! many calories working that hard. Make sure you have the stamina, as well as healed incisions. Post-surgery exercise is usually walking, then brisk walking. But I hear of go-getters hopping on the eliptical after a week, or something crazy like that. Nuts, I say! haha :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
