Exercising 7 months Post Op

Hi Folks,

I'm starting to do some exercises now - 7 months post op. I'm 11 lbs to my goal (well my initial goal anyway, I'll see if I want to/can stand to lose more when I get there..) I originally wanted to wait till goal to start exercising because when I exercise, I tend to change shape (good) but the weight just does NOT come off...

But my body is feeling very mushy right now and I want to do SOMETHING so I'm starting with yoga and maybe the occasional spin class. No lifting..yet.

For others in the same boat, please let me know what kinds of exercises you're doing (other than walking...)...I don't want to do any muscle building till later.

THANKS GANG!

I'm 8 months post op, and I walk, go for nature hikes, ride my bike, swim, and do arm exercises using 1-2 Lb weights.

I do exercise videos. I love them, and when I first started doing them again, my weight jumped up by 5 lbs- it was very discouraging. However, I stuck with it, and now that's all come off, and the weight-loss has picked up again. Plus, I feel so much better when I exercise.

Hi Tina - are the exercise videos cardio type or weights? I'm interested!!
