4 1/2 Weeks post op. Workout suggestions??



Recommended Posts

Surgery date was May 3rd 2017

Highest weight 249

Day I went home from surgery I weighed 230

Today I weight 212

First picture was before surgery in April. 2nd picture was from 2 days ago.

I can see progress and clothes are getting too big but I don't feel like the weight it coming off as quick as it is for others?

I walk everyday but I'm starting to go to the gym tomorrow. Any workout suggestions?? IMG_1277.JPG

If you don't lift, do light weights or body weights. Find a trainer, if needed, that will cater to you starting out. Weights will obviously put some muscle on and it will also change your physique too, in a great way. I'm starting my 4th week post op (surgery 5/15) and was cleared for body and light weights. Are you cleared for such?

Also, this is your journey, try not compare yourself to anyone else's. We're all at different builds, heights, lifestyles, etc. with that said, you look awesome! Good job for your loss. Keep it up!

You look amazing. I just had surgery on Wed but they didn't weigh me in the hospital. I'm still trying to get my fluids in. Still having alot of pain and gas. I was thinking that once I'm feeling better and cleared for increased activity I would join a gym and use some targeted why machines to tighten certain areas asI lose weight such as abd and thighs.

Thank you guys!!

So happy for all of us!
Those gas pains are no joke! Mine lasted for about 2 1/2 weeks after surgery and it was unbearable!
Good thing is that they eventually go away. Lol

Just spoke to my surgeon and was cleared to do anything I would like to do. [emoji33] So exciting. Not sure where to start.
But I did join a gym and I plan to be there at least 5 days a week.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
