How far were you out before resuming cycling?



Recommended Posts

Hello

I had my surgery Feb 8th and can't remember when my Dr said I could resume cycling, will ring them on Monday to double check. Was wondering how far out people were before they resumed their exercises? Have you now changed your routine and find a different exercise to benefit you more? I'm now getting a bit bored with walking and can't wait to get back on my bike as I can go further distances and time seems to fly by.

Hello, we were told can use the stationary bike after 2 weeks so I was walking more as not joined a gym yet. As the weather is getting better I will venture out more on the bike when able to.

Spinning class is more like the outside thing, but you should wait and ask your surgeon then just to be safe.

I will be on their case in the morning......walking has been good but not very stimulating.

My doctor said I am fine to start cycling at home on stationary bike at 2 weeks out.

Haven't though ;-( almost at week 5 but I plan to start tomorrow, seriously! I need to kick it up a notch. At last starting to feel human and getting accustomed to my pouch - aka Dramaqueen.

Weather permitting I am out on my bike all the time! I've noticed that since my weight loss the cycling is much easier and I can cycle further. I don't go mad but make sure I go steady and am gone for a few hours. Instead of going in the car I get my bike and run errands. It's given me such a new lease of life and it's great!

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
