Question. How long before you are allowed to workout after surgery.

I was allowed and encouraged to walk immediately. I was told no abdominal specific exercise ie. crunches/planks etc. until six months. I am 5 weeks out tomorrow I have been doing arms legs and a lot of cardio. Crossfit routines too but just carefully since I am technically not cleared. Right now I am cleared for treadmill which I do at the highest incline, elliptical and the stair stepper.

i love to hear people working out! Keep it up! Certain days I do the treadmill...on an high incline like level 14 and 2.5 speed ...i do it with 3lbs hand weights...very challenging but doable. ..... Other days i do this bosu bootcamp or kickboxing.... No flabby skin on he arms!

I need to find the motivation to exercise...I hate it. Reading all your posts gives me encouragement, especially the "NO FLABBY SKIN" remark from perezhe1!!! Thank you all!

Well ladies, let me enlighten you a wee bit. Some flab will occur regardless depending on how much you lose and your age. It's just a fact of life. I am 58 3/4 old. I have some flab and yes I work out with a trainer no less, eat 70 - 80 grams of Protein. Get all my Water in, take my Vitamins and do what I'm supposed to and I have some flab. I also have mush butt, a few wrinkles, and sagging skin. What I don't have anymore is diabetes, high blood pressure, or a shorter life expectancy! I figure the flab and wrinkles are Merit badges. LOL. Even though I don't like them, I'm thankful to have them.
