How Much Exercise

[Togunrinde 36]

So I'm three weeks out. And the one week I didn't work out is the week I haven't lost weight. But I was also under the impression if I exercise too much at the rate of which I eat meals (under 800 calories in a day) , that would stall weight loss as well. So I wanted to compare to those who are probably in a similar situation. About how much exercise should we be getting in at this time

I was told not to exercise at all other than walk until 4 weeks. Then I started the Jillian Michaels app on beginner. Having fun doing it. I'm almost 6 weeks now and I can gently do the ab stuff too.

I'm 5 weeks post-op. I started my workout in 2 weeks after surgery, but very carefully. Now, I'm trying to make 10K steps every day.

I'm 3 mos out & have the ok to knock myself off w any exercise regimen. I was walking from shortly after surgery, was given the approval to begin teaching H20 Aerobics 2 wks post-op, as well as riding my recumbent bike & using the treadmill. At 4 wks post-op, I began walking 2.5 miles daily & was ok'd to start Yoga & use my Pilates Reformer. I suddenly didn't want to exercise around 5 wks post-op, but just kept at it so I'd feel better emotionally. The physical transformation has been so noticeable to everyone who sees me, but for me, it's been the ability to go from ex-large to size 8 in these 3 mos, not needing any diabetic, high BP, high cholesterol & acid reflux meds: was off these immediately post-op. Knowing our stomach's are the size of an egg helps me from putting too much into my bites (using a baby-sized spoon & fork). Congrats to all on choosing health & loving ourselves. I'm having a grouchy emotional week, so am meditating/praying & being thankful for all my blessings.
