How long did you guys wait to start the gym back up?

Pre surgery I was pretty consistent with the gym, I tried going just to walk 6 days after my surgery and it just felt weird so I left. I am a week and a half out and want to go back, even if it is just to walk, but not sure if it is safe.

I have been stuck at same weight for 2 days now..

I was cleared for exercise at 1 week post-op. I'm not doing a gym setting because I find it super intimidating but I am taking pilates classes for tonight and zumba for cardio.

What does your surgeon say? Based on what I've read, most people are limited to walking for the first 4-6 weeks after surgery. Then they might start on light weights and more moderate activity.

Walk immediately. Wait 6 weeks for anything else.

I was cleared for exercise at 2 weeks, but told to wait 2 more to start doing any lifting. I go to the gym three days a week, and do a lot of walking on my college campus.

Wonder Woman is a great name for you! I am only 6 days out and I can't imagine going to Zumba for quite a while

      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.
