When can I start working out???



Recommended Posts

I just recently started working out a lot before surgery bc I want to be in the best shape I can be for surgery (which wont be very good shape but at least Im trying right!) So, how long did everyone wait before they starting working out again.... I like to run, swim and Water aerobics if that helps! I know it is diff from doc to doc but I still like to get an average range!:thumbup:

I went to the gym on the 10th day, but I told my trainers the deal and so I have just been doing the walker, arc trainer, bike, and weights of my arms, in a couple of weeks we are going to start on leg presses and stomach.

Check with your surgeon. S/He will have some advice on when you're cleared for what type of exercise.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
