Zumba, Good Idea Or No?



Recommended Posts

Starting on Monday and will be 4 weeks post op. Do you think it will be too strenous or I should be ok? Also hoping this will kick start my weight loss so I can lose more.

I have Zumba for my Wii and I just started. I try to do 3-4 songs at a time. My surgery was April 16th.

I would start slow and ease your way into it. Just listen to your body, it should let you know if it is too soon. I love zumba =)

I bought this yesterday but haven't opened it up yet. Worth keeping?

I also ordered one called Active Life Explorer. I've had this dang Wii for like 4 years, and except for maybe 3 times, we've only ever used it as a Netflix receiver. It's pretty bad that I need to be in front of the TV to work out. ;)

so I bought zumba last week and have done it 3 times since it arrived. I am only on the step by step video and at first I was only able to get thru half of it. Today I did the whole video. Not as enthusiastic as them but I did it. Tommow I start on that actual video !!!

I did two classes this week, I didn't like the first instructor but the second instructor today wow. I couldn't do everything but I broke a sweat and I feel it in my body lol. Kicked my ass in a good way, I did notice though that drinking Water and moving makes me have nausea so that may be an issue. It was like getting motion sickness after drinking Water lol. But other than that I'm pretty good. Figured I'd start small and just stick to two classes a week or at least one and build up.

      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.
