Post-OP Workout info, sites, experiences

[quayle71 5]

My sleeve is this thursday and don't expect to be in gym anytime soon but once allowed in the gym looking to see what has worked for people and what hasn't, not looking for the cardio side, more of the weight lifting info.

Thanks.

@@quayle71, I am m3 months out. I hit the gym about 10 days post surgery but just for cardio the first week or so. at around 3 weeks I started doing light exercises which did NOT touch my core. if I did the wrong exercise I would immediately feel it in my incisions. it wasn't until about 6 weeks that I no longer felt pain at the incision site and went on to a full unrestricted exercising. my first body comp showed that I lost muscle but Doc said that because of my vigorous exercising, I greatly reduced the pounds of muscle lost. nothing fancy, just basic weight lifting on machines and free weights. rotating daily, Protein directly following a workout for better recovery. start my workout with 40 minutes of cardio then finish with about 25 minutes of lifting.

best of luck Thursday!!!

My surgeon said they want us walking every day post surgery, that I should be back to same cardio at about 2 weeks, and light lifting.. and heavy lifting and crossfit at 4 weeks.
