Stop Hard Core Workouts after Surgery



Recommended Posts

I dont see anyone forgetting how different our bodies are. It does not matter how each of us choose to work our fitness program. Our bodies ...our choices.

Correct, if we all could loss weight by exercising right after surgery - why didn't it work before surgery???

Too each their own on working out. I don’t judge if people choose to not exercise, moderate or become athletic.

All surgeon’s fitness instructions are different. Do you have your surgeons’ instructions yet?

My surgeons’ instructions: Walk the day after surgery to help the healing process and build up to walking for an hour. When I was released to lift. I started at the gym doing cardio and lifting. My fitness progressed from there. I'm a sleeve and got to goal in six months. I did exercise right after surgery and lost weight.

None of this is a one size fits all bariatric instruction. Do what work’s for you and trust your medical team.

Ok Sleevers - some are still missing the point but any who follow your doctors orders. Patiently waiting to be on the other side and start back spinning again!!!

I am at 6 months and recently joined a boot camp. I really love it. I have PCOS and seem to do better with exercise in general. Also, I have lost a lot of muscle mass and my upper body strength is horrible. I also have more energy now as opposed to before. I totally agree that everyone needs to make a decision for themselves. I am losing slower now so thought it would be a good boost.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
