How Long After Surgery Before Strenuous Excercise?



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Four months out from surgery, today in fact. Last night was my first time doing really heavy exercise. I stared the 30 day shred with Jillian Michaels, and let me tell you, I am in pain. Though it was only 20 minutes or so I feel like I may have done some damage to my stomach. I am having a lot of discomfort. I am wondering if I could have possibly damaged something this far out from surgery,or if I am just being too dramatic? Any ideas guys?

It's hard for me to think that you've damaged something as a result of the surgery that far out. If there's damage, it may just be from doing something that you've not done before or dove in without easing into it....? If so, sounds like that would've happen pre or post surgery and not caused by the surgery. I'm really hoping it's just sore abs. I'm guessing there was a lot of core work involved with this and I'm guessing i'st just soreness. Is there any intense shooting pain involved? If it doesn't go away in 3 or 4 days, it could be some damage instead of soreness. I wish you the best with it and keep us updated!

      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.
