When can I join the gym after my gastric sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi I would like to know when can I join the gym and what type of exercise I can do. I just complete my first month after my gastric sleeve surgery.

You should have received exercise restrictions from your surgical team. Just like every other part of the post-op plan, every surgeon is different, so you should listen to yours. I was supposed to start "brisk walking" for up to 90 minutes a day immediately post-op. I wasn't supposed to do more intense cardio or heavy lifting until 60 days post-op.

Will I didn't received any restrictions from my surgical he just told me for a walk about 30 minutes or more. Did I need to ask him about exercise restrictions?

Yes. It will depend on how you are healing/recuperating and his protocol. If you are ever unsure or unclear, always ask for clarification. Some doctor's do a blanket 6 weeks post-op, others 3 months. It will vary program to program.

Yes I had to wake 8 weeks before I was cleared to do any resistance training (lifting weights/swimming). I was told to do walking about 60 to 90 minutes per day right after surgery, and then full on cardio (running/bike riding, elliptical training) about 30 days post surgery. But as someone else has said, get clarification on what it is you want to do with your doctor first to make sure he/she is on board with what it is that you are wanting to do.

      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.
