How long after surgery...



Recommended Posts

How long after surgery did you start running/working out again. I know what my Doctor recommends but I'm just curious. I'm three weeks postop and I feel great I really want to start doing real exercise. I can't take the wait!!

@@EP8 - I waited 6 weeks before back to my pilates routine and weights but I was at the gym at 1 week on the treadmill and at 3 weeks I was on the bike and elliptical (slowly).

I feel exactly the same - I am just over 2 weeks post op and I feel great and full of energy. I am walking 4km per day but want to start going back to the gym. My doctor recommended 3 weeks so I am going back on Sunday and I will take it really easy and listen to my body! I was super active before the surgery so itching to get back!

      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.
