WHEN CAN I GET BACK IN THE GYM



Recommended Posts

Isn't that a question for your surgeon? Why would you let people on this site dictate when you can go back to the gym?

I had sleeve and hernia repair on a Wednesday and was allowed to go back to the gym Monday, I isn't a technical question, it's a question of what you can safely tolerate, I( so this doesn't come back to become a confrontation and I would like to answer your question) was told by my surgeon and the attending doctor the next morning "only cardio like treadmill or bicycle and very light circuit training" quit when you feel pain coming on, and don't go overboard until after first follow up

Of coarse I would ask my surgeon and would not do anything with out his advice but I don't see him till next week so I was looking for some hope for when other people started back to have something to look forward to Gheesh sorry.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
