First Workout Since Surgery



Recommended Posts

Today was the first day of working out since the surgery. I am doing p90x. Nice workout but got about 3/4 through the first day and about 3/4 through the ab workout. I feel good I will be sore tomorrow.

What workouts are others doing?

Thats great!! how long after the surgery did you begin? and p90 is a rough workout! so thats awesome you are able to do it. I myself will be doing zumba because I love to dance. lol. and something for muscle tightening that I need to figure out. Good luck! :)

It has been about 2 weeks. My surgery was oct 4th. Zumba is a good workout for sure. I am not the dancing type. Lol

I'm not graceful enough for Zumba :)

I do the elliptical and jog daily. Every so often I'll do one of the Insanity workouts but last time I did, my port area was super sore for about 5 days after. I really, really love Insanity but it's pretty intense.

I don't know if I would be doing anything as strenuous as P90x this early.If your doc feels its okay and you feel okay.Then hit it dawg..I myself I do treadmill and lift weights.i try to be active as much as I can.A body in motion stays in motion.plus it helps to keep you out of the fridge.

      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.
