Scott83 1 Posted June 16, 2016 I'm 4 weeks out of surgery and am raring to get in the gym and lift some weights, the only thing is I feel like I've lost my strength, it's obviously because I can't eat much but will it come back eventually? How long did any of the guys wait before they got in the gym? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mryjo73 26 Posted June 16, 2016 I was in the gym after week three for low impact (15 min) cardio. Week 6 I was cleared for 30 _45 mins and 5lb weight. Week 8 I was cleared for everything but weights under 25lbs. 90 day I was cleared and could do whatever felt good. ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisee68 2,493 Posted June 16, 2016 It takes a while. Take it easy when you do go back. I experienced weakness and dizziness for quite a while even just when walking. I just wasn't getting enough calories or carbs to have enough energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarrySue 602 Posted June 16, 2016 I commend you OP for getting right back in the gym. Your strength will return eventually. Just give yourself more time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
