Nope, I've never had any problems doing crunches, sit ups or any strenuous activity at all. I waited until a month after surgery before doing any major workouts, but I do crunches/situps all the time and have never felt it or gotten sore. Matter of fact, the only thing that has ever hurt my port is when my 21 pound cat decides to step on that spot and put all his weight on one foot directly on it.. and even then, it's not that painful, it just irritates me. I think a lot of this has to do with where your port is placed too.

Wait six weeks or so till you're completely healed, then proceed slowly and listen to your body. Its unlikely you'd do any damage to the band as that's sewn to your stomach, but your port is attached to your abdominal muscle and it needs to be healed up before you do that sort of stuff.

But now, I do plenty of strenuous activity, lots of running and situps, pushups and weights and I've never had any problem at all.

My Dr. told me besides walking, he wanted me to wait 3 weeks post-op to do exercise and 3 MONTHS post-op for Ab work, so I'd wait to do the sit-ups until at least then and just concentrate on cardio. :wink2:

You can do anything you did before, but now you'll be doing things you did'nt do before. I have a 20 lb. dog and while i was laying ouside in a lounge chair he jumped on my port it hurt like hell but was fine, I thought he messed it up but it was fine.

I started abdominals about 5 weeks out and my port area was overly sore. It was sore enough that I was worried that I might have hurt myself during the first few weeks. I took it easy for another 1-2 weeks and worked my way back in to them. I think I might have just started a little early for me.

Now I do strenuous abdominals several times a week at the gym and I feel great. I don't have any soreness at all anymore and feel better than I have in eons.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
