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 :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
