Hello all...

Well, today I'm celebrating my 2 months post op but I'm struggling to know what kind of workouts should I do... I was going to do TRX but then I was afraid to go to the class.

PS: I hate jogging and Zumba... So pleae shower me with your options!

Much love,

Amira

Ideas : personal trainer and weight lifting ( you won't bulk up) yoga Pilates , cycling or spin class , boot camp type classes, check out what the different gyms offer in your area and ask around locally what there is to do. Just give things a try a few times. I hated jogging but I actually enjoy the 5k app, I just needed to find my way

I've been using my treadmill, swimming, and just took my first yoga class ever. Good luck!

Check with your surgeon - but at 2 months or 8 weeks out most will allow you to resume full workouts at this point. I went back to the gym at 6 week mark, and began lifting weights again.

Do what you enjoy, start small/reasonable and build up. It is no fun to over do it your first week and then quit!

I was very obese when I started, so Water aerobics were my first work outs. I loved it, felt so good. I stopped doing it when i wanted more intensity, but it helped me lose the first 70# or so!!!!

I was released to cardio and lifting 4 weeks post op

I have been going to the gym daily since January

If you are just starting an exercise habit...start slow and work yourself up.

Challenge yourself cardio on bikes and ellipticals or treadmill...either by uping your time or beating your distance in that time each week.

Good luck :)

      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.
