I would give it a try if you are feeling well. You may tire out and have to stop before the class is over, but do what feels right for you!

You can always modify the moves to your ability right now. I would take it a bit easy as your port and stuff is still healing and there is a lot of belly movement in Zumba.

Give it a try, but be sure to listen to your body. When it gives you that I'm tired warning stop! Don't push on.

Good luck!

I was back to exercising and running about 2 weeks post banding and found that wearing a back brace (or ace bandage) helped 'stabilize' me in front and kept the pain from my fat/port area jiggling down to a minimum. Might not work for u, but maybe worth a try.

I was also thinking the same thing. I'm gonna go watch a class first just to get a feel. Yikes!

Your body will be talking to you if you can't!

      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.
