1 week post op, ready to get back to gym!!!



Recommended Posts

I know I have to wait until at least next week to get back to the gym, but I've been going for a 30 minute walk for the last three days. I worked really hard pre-op for about 3 months to get used to go to the gym and seeing the results of working hard in the gym. I'm so excited to get going in the gym post-op, because I know it will really rev up my weight loss. I'm so fidgety and ready to start my new life!!!!!!!

As long as all you do at the gym is walk, you can go back. But stay away from anything that will cause stress. It is probably best to just walk at home or mall, or wherever you walk.

I've been back to the gym for almost a week, just walking on a treadmill and I'm pooped!! I got home the first day, took a shower, sat down and promptly fell asleep. I can imagine getting back to lifting next week, I might have to take a nap before I drive home!!!!

      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.
