Swimming & Weight Lifting



Recommended Posts

I am 6 weeks 2 days out. Monday I am going to get a membership at the health and wellness center and kick start my exercise routine. I have read several times we are healed at 6 weeks. I want to start swimming and weight lifting...am I good to go?

My doctor said swimming was fine a week post-op. I started swimming laps 9 days post-op. I had been swimming laps regularly before surgery, and I am continuing to do so now that I am 4 weeks post-op. I have no idea on the weight lifting. I know that running requires some time as well. But my surgeon said swimming was just fine!

My dr had said swimming was fine as soon as the wounds had healed. And I was able to start lifting weights at 4 weeks out. But he advised to start slow an not push to hard. Good Luck.

      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.

      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...

        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.
