Almost Tossed my COOKIES (if I had eaten any) During Workout!
I had my VSG just over a month ago (10/08/15). Most mornings I walk 1.5 miles and have recently upped my workout routine. I have added fitness classes and working with a trainer.
I had my first training session yesterday and almost threw up! I think I overdid it. I was so scared of throwing up! Not only would it have been embarrassing but I was terrified of hurting my stomach! (Surgery date 10/08/15)
My plan is to modify, modify, modify the routine my trainer wants me to do and talk to her honestly about why I have to modify. Not only am I not a skinny little thing (YET!) who can throw myself down on the ground then hop up onto my feet instantly (yes...that is what she had me trying to do!) but I am just over a month out of surgery. My calorie intake is also very limited (800 cals a day) and I think that may be contributing to my exhaustion. I just don't want her to think I'm coming up with excuses to not work hard. I do want her to keep pushing me but I'm simply not going to be able to keep up and do some of the things she may expect.
Anyway...any thoughts/comments are welcomed!

Seems a bit strenuous for 5 weeks out. Did you not discuss prior?

I reiterate my comment to you on the VSG board. This is a bad trainer and you should run away very far and very fast.

HI!
I hate puking too. I would rather die than barf. I would rather have ED (explosive diherria) than barf.
Do you think you are doing too much too soon on too little food?
My surgery was dramatically different than yours. At the post op time period you are now at, I was at mushy pureed foods and very small quanttities. I was almost passing out in easy yoga. All I could do was WALK. And I really walked. But it took me a good 4-6 months to go back to running/lifting weights/tae bo/step aerobics.
Read your plan and modify!
