shellvsg 99 Posted January 10, 2014 I just joined tonight and I'll plan to start on Monday morning. I plan to start off with cardio only and once I go back to my surgeon the end of this month if he gives me a full release, a plan to get a trainer next month. That being said I'm not going to push it, going and doing cardio is a huge step plus I'm back to work full time. I feel fatigued my stay so I'm just going to do the best I can; honestly, everything is an improvement compared to before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jkkoutso 1 Posted January 10, 2014 I was sleeved December 4, however I was not cleared by my doctors yet for the gym. I have gone and done the the treadmill and bike. But no machines yet. Im afraid to do any stomach crunches or ab machines. Has any one started those yet? I have lost about 50 lbs so my stomach needs to start to get toned.

I have to watch it because I dehydrated easy and tired easy. But I am getting at 30 mins on the elliptical at least 4-5 days a weeks and some days I can add in the bike.

Thick'n'Thin 171 Posted January 13, 2014 I asked at my first checkup (10 days post op) if I could join the gym. My doc said yes. I asked about hernias and lifting and he said you exert as much intra-abdominal pressure sneezing and coughing as you do lifting weights, so he is not worried. Told me to hydrate as I go and don't go play tackle football...lol. I joined the gym Friday, 2 1/2 weeks post op. First workout went great. 30 minutes and two miles on the elliptical and 30 minutes resistance training. Got my measurements done too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmVSG13 0 Posted January 14, 2014 I was sleeved on 12/17, 2 week post-op appt was 1/2 and I was given the green light as well. They still have me on a lifting restriction of 20lbs so no weight lifting yet. I'm sticking to the treadmill and UJAM classes and feeling great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
