5 month post op exercise?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 month post op and am down 89 lbs. I am wondering what everyone is doing or did at this point as far as exercise.I feel like I should be losing more at this point. Just want to gage where everyone else is at

My main form of exercise is walking.

Treadmills & outside. I'm able to walk a great deal at work, too.

I've also resumed weight training. Low weight-high rep count and working around bum shoulder and failing recent hernia repair.

Approaching the five month mark soon, too.

I'm going to add the elliptical machine on my next gym visit Monday. It gives me a better calorie burn in a shorter duration than the treadmill walking.

I swim: laps, Water aerobics, etc.

As soon as I was cleared to get in the Water I have been in the pool.

I was about where you are weight-loss-wise at five months out. I was also doing the following exercise-wise at that point (and still do):

2x a week: swimming or Water aerobics or Aqua Zumba

2x a week: some kind of strength-training (usually TRX)

at least 2x a week: yoga

I stepped up my exercise game about six weeks ago. I do BodyPump twice a week and some other activity most other days -- walking (2-4 miles), elliptical (about 50 minutes) or class like BodyStep (60 minutes).

I'm 5 months out and I've lost 72 pounds so far. It was definitely faster in the beginning than it is now, but that seems normal.
