Very weak after gym workout

[o00 494]

I was getting winded walking up and down the stairs at home. After gym at even two to three months out or after walking about a mile I would have to take a nap. I brought up my lack of energy with my friend who is personal trainer and he advised I eat something before my workout. The options he gave was oatmeal ( which was a no no for me) a banana or an apple with Peanut Butter along with hydration . So I would eat half a small Granny Smith without the peel with natural Peanut Butter before and drink a Protein shake after and I started feeling a huge difference in my energy level post workout.

My nutritionist was okay with this.

It sounds a bit too soon for gym workouts. Give your body a chance to heal. Walking is awesome.

My Dr advised not to do a real work out until 8 weeks out. Right now only walking as your body is still healing

Blood clots are a big danger for 90 days! Just walk
