Angel sale 16 Posted February 20, 2020 Is it safe to exercise. 6 weeks post op. 600 to 700 calories per day. Mostly Protein. Can our bodies take exercise with the low calories we are having. I don't want to break muscle. Any advice xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZhiker 2,253 Posted February 20, 2020 YES! Get moving! My doc said 10,000 steps a day to start. I was doing that by day 7 post op. Start walking, walking, walking. You can't do any weights yet, but you can do leg exercises, arm exercises, and climb stairs. 1 glannin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,221 Posted February 20, 2020 I could do pretty much everything except weights at that point (I think I had to wait eight weeks before doing weights) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CapyCapybara 107 Posted February 20, 2020 I do spin and weights ... To make sure you do not burn muscle just make sure you have a Protein Drink after working out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
