Looking for some advice

Hi I was wondering if I could get some free advice on excercise both before or after surgery.  I drive by "Curves" before and after work.  My surgery is July 15, and prior to surgery I have been watching what I eat and trying to walk more so after the surgery I am hoping my recovery will be a little easier.

  I am a creature of habit and was thinking of trying to get into a routine ...so I stopped at curves to check it out and really liked what I saw, and to my suprise it fits my buget. ....well if I cut some other stuff out. My question is - should I wait until after the surgery  and I have recovered to start a routine like curves? Or start now and try to keep it up after? I guess I am worried like everything else I tried it will start off great and fizzle out cause I have to take a few weeks off......or is moderate excercise something I won't have to stray from too long?

I had to wait 6 weeks after surgery to start resistance training, but my surgeon said I could start walking as soon as I felt good. By 2 weeks out, I was back doing cardio. I say start your routine now and post-op you can start up small and re-build your endurance. Great job walking now, too! I was up to working out 5 days a week pre-op and maintained this post-op as well. I know for me, my motivation didn't fizzle- with the rapid weight loss, I have only been driven more to improve my physique since I have all the tools I need to achieve my goals.

Best of luck to you!

Doing cardio pre-op will help lower your surgery risks. Curves had cardio so it counts!

I think you should start before too. Then, after surgery, you'll be chomping at the bit to get back to it. Hopefully!
