How soon can i exercise after surgery?

[alteration 0]

I had my surgery on October 1st and I am ready to at least walk on the treadmill or the elliptical. I also have the richard simmons tapes. I think that the walk tapes are really good! I dont want to hurt anything inside or push too soon. does anybody know when it a good time. I haven't had any complications with the surgery so I think that I am good to work out. What do you all think?

Hello I was banded on Oct 7,2008 and when I asked my Dr he said that I could do it when I felt I was ready and I have already started walking and I feel fine.

Your Dr. should have given you the answer to this question. For me, my Dr. said just walking daily for the first 2 weeks then I could resume other exercises in moderation. I was also instructed to not lift, tug, push or pull anything beyond 20 lbs. for 2 weeks. Good luck.

Hi I was banded Oct 13th and have been using "shooters" as my main Protein source. They come in a large test tube and either are 45g or 42g in the 3.1 oz tube. I have ones made by IDS called New Whey Liquid Protein and CNP called liquid Protein. These were recommended at our support group and I have found them very helpful. They can be found at GNC and other Vitamin stores.

how much are the shooters, and how many come in the packet?

[SassyOne 0]

At GNC they are either 3.59 or 3.99 in my area depending on which you buy. At a local Vitamin shop they were 3.59. Seems to be a consistant price. Good Luck!
