[Trellunit 49]

Month follow up after surgery down30 lbs feeling great and ready to start working out. How long do you have to wait to hit the gym and are there any restrictions with going back to the gym. Hoping I am cleared to go,but please let me know what your stories are.

I was back at the gym doing cardio two weeks post-op. They surgeon told me to wait 6 weeks before lifting more than 10 pounds, so I waited 6 weeks before doing strength training machines

Sounds good I’m ready to do it all

I was at the gym after the first week - I was hampered by not being allowed to drive for the first 7 days so I was walking my neighborhood. I stuck with the treadmill until 10 lb weight restriction was lifted. I avoid ab work for while and stuck with upper body and legs and only doing what was comfortable. Now I do as I please.

Congrats on your surgery and success so far!

Lifting will most likely be your only restriction for a bit. get in the cardio and yoga/pilates/stretching while you wait. I also have been jumping rope to break up my routine
