Anyone exercising yet?
I am a little over two weeks out and getting back to my workout regimen that I was on pre-op. My surgeon wants me exercising as soon as possible! I started yoga last week and this week I added Zumba back in. I'm finding more and more that I have to take it slow.
What are you doing for exercise and how often? Are you finding it easy to workout and getting back into a routine?

Excellent timing. I just got off my treadmill. I'm only able to go about 15 minutes before I'm totally spent. It's a bit disheartening, but I have to keep reminding myself that I had major surgery not long ago & it'll take some time to regain my strength. If I can do even one minute more each day, I'll be happy -- for now. *wink*
I am 6.5 weeks out of surgery. I remember my first day home I went to the indoor track made 4 laps which took about 10 min and I was whipped. At the two week mark I was walking 30 min on the track. I started the treadmill at the 3 week mark for 30 min and found out the treadmill is much harder than just walking on your own. By the 4 week mark I was doing 45 min on the treadmill or the eliptical and have been doing this ever since. The machines tell me I am burning 400 - 475 calories. I was told by a trainer that you want to vary your exercise methods to lose more weight. So I need to start the bike also. My doc said I had about 12 months to lose weight, the more exercise the more you will lose so I try to keep that in mind as a motivator.
I am 4weeks out today. and have been walking ever since. was going everyday to the gym. Tread mill then the elipiptical(sp) started weight training the beggining of the year with the help of a trainer.
Trying to kick it up a notch since it has been so long.

I'm a month out and I kinda excercise, I was going down to the fitness room in our building every other day, but then I started getting this weird pain on my left side, so I've been taking it a bit easier lately, although I think at my appointment on thursday that i'll be asking about it.
Meet the Surgeon Aug 1, 2011 .... hopefully the surgeons office is right and everything will go fast and I'll have surgery later this month.
