How long should I wait before I can do squats?

[Dknal2 1,066]

I know this may sound silly to some. But I love my butt. I know she and I have to part ways after surgery somewhat ???? But I'm trying to keep some of her with me always. Squats improve this chance of having a nice bottom so I'm trying to figure out how long before one can do squats considering squats aren't a strenuous exercise. I know I'm gonna have to ask the doctor but I'm just wondering if my sleeve buddies out there can help me figure this one out.

i don't think you can prevent the loss of your rear end

after/during weight loss, exercise might help improve it

if the loss is gonna happen anyways - make funeral plans

no hurry on strenuous/any exercise immediately PO

YOUR doc will advice you

butttttt not every ones tushy is totally gone post WLS

(mine went bye bye LOL)

squats "sound" on the harder side right after WLS

going down, lots of pressure

some people get plastics to help give themselves a "lift" LOL

good luck next month

I'm going to buy one of those butt lift Spanx type shape wear and it will come off when I bathe. I'm going to make this butt behave ????????????

Definitely wait until your surgeon clears you.

You may also ask your surgeon about modifying your squat in the meantime.

Walking is a great exercise until you are cleared for something more intense.

Personally, swimming is my exercise of choice. I was cleared to get in the Water about four weeks post-op.

[Dknal2 1,066]

Great suggestion, but I don't know how to swim ????????, maybe pool therapy would be good pretend like I'm running in Water. I will certainly ask though.

squats aren't a strenuous exercise

I almost snorted my Water when I read that, LOL. I beg to differ a bit if I may -- squats are a compound exercise, they use several major muscle groups at once. And even if you do just body weight squats without a barbell, they can still be strenuous depending on your weight and fitness level. For example, a 300-lbs woman doing squats is like a 150-lbs woman doing squats with a 150-lbs barbell.

And since every pound of weight is 4 pounds of pressure on your joints...that can be a lot of strain on your knees (again: depending on your current weight).

Personally, I was injured really badly a few months ago by a personal trainer who.
