Kind of workout and pre and post workout meal

[fromPeartoHG 1]

HI All, I am a new member of this forum. I was sleeved on 18th March, 2014 and now in my 7th week after suregery. I have taken gym membership and seriously want to start a workout regime. I have few questions:

1) What kind of workout should i begin with?

2) What should I eat and/or drink before and after my workouts?

3) What kind of Protein Powder is best? Sunwarrior a good choice?

4) I am on soft food diet currently, eating about 1 cup of total solid in a day and about 2 liters of liquids. My concern is do i have enough energy to do the workout?

5) How many days a week should I go to the gym

6) Any suggestions and tips will be more than welcome.

Please respond if you have any or all answers to my questions.

Thanks

Congrats on wanting to start working out. You have a lot of questions that would be best answered by someone who knows you and your situation personally.

My suggestion (and I did this) -- find a personal trainer to work with you. My trainer had a package deal and did a complete assessment at our first meeting. She talked about my goals and limitations and worked up a plan for me. I meet with her once a week and exercise on my own in between. She's very kind and friendly and not one of those screaming, "no pain no gain" types. Nothing like I expected.

I know it costs money, but I consider it just another investment in my health.

Thanks Ginger, will ask a trainer but don't know yet if there will be one who will have the knowledge or know how to handle the needs of a person with VSG. So trying to equip myself with others knowledge and experience

If somebody has any answers please let me know.
