I haven't had surgery yet but I thought it would be a bad idea to ask those who have had surgery about your activity levels after surgery. I signed up for a women's weight training class and Pilates, my surgery is August 4th. I will have about two weeks to recover before going back to work and then a week later I start school and those gym classes. Does anyone know if it would be a good idea to do a weight training class and Pilates? Anyone try these classes before, after their surgery? How was your experience! I would appreciate any responses!

Thanks!

Hey there.. Im pretty athletic and I just back into working out as fast as possible. It took about 2 weeks of down time with light walking. 3rd week I was power walking and about the 4th week I was running. You do have to have your tummy wrapped because you'll still have to deal with the wombs healing and your insides that heal slow.

You will find yourself turning the wrong way or something and it'll feel like your insides where ripped.

Wouldn't recommend weight lifting for at least the 6 to 8 weeks later and your Dr will say the same.

About 6 to 8 weeks I was back don kick boxing but found that I had times when I went hard that I should have maybe been sitting my butt down somewhere.

      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.
