When do you know how far to progress after surgery



Recommended Posts

I was cleared to do walking, treadmill walk, elliptical machine and stationary bike and regular bike on gentle rides. I'm joust curious how soon were others back to the gym. ? And what kind of activity level were you at. As soon as I drop some more weight I'm going to start to joke, with long term goal, half marathon next year. Short term, 5k Thanksgiving fun run walk. And amaybe a 10k for Run for the new year.

My md had me walking a mile day of surgery! He had me do laps around nurses stations daily. He cleared me to do anything I wanted to do when I got released. I can't push myself to much because I get dizzy, light headed and faint and I'm 2wks out.

I was cleared for weight-lifting after 6 weeks, but am still working on stamina for high-endurance efforts like HIIT or 20+ miles cycling. It's tough getting in enough fuel.

      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.
