Exercise Restriction

I had my 3 month post-op a couple weeks ago and when asked about my exercise routine, I was honest. I jog 60 min a day, 6x a week. Apparently, this is too much and I have been restricted to no more than 3 hours a week.

I am very upset. I believe my weight loss is due to exercise and feel like something is being taken away from me. I'm down 93 lbs in 3 months (all post-op). I told my partner and he agreed that I was exercising too much. Have any of you experienced anything similar?

The surgeon's reasoning was that he wanted my skin to be able to catch up and my muscle to have a break to be able to rebuild especially since I had no exercise routine prior to surgery. Perfectly solid advice, but I feel like something has been snatched from me.

I can only judge by my results and I am down 50 in four months.  So 93 in 3?!  that is crazy good - or a ton of weight!  

Maybe you are going a bit fast?  Switch to doing 3 days of lifting weights to build and tone and 2 days of running, and maybe a yoga class or something for flexibility?
