I wasn't allowed to do anything other than walk for the first 6 weeks post-op. After that, I was allowed to ease into anything I wanted to do. It'll be important to listen to your body and stop if you need to, I'd definitely recommend informing your instructor that you've had surgery and may need to child's pose more than normal in the beginning.

All that said - ask your surgeon for their specific requirements.

Thx for this info.

I am seeing this late because I am just now searching the site for the same issue.

I had RNY 11 months ago and lost 110 lbs. Frustrated because I want to lose another 10 lbs. fat while gaining muscle mass.

I eat 2200 cals a day with 200 grams of protein a day, (This being a 20% calorie deficit based on my workouts) and the scale has not dropped in many weeks, and muscle gains are really slow.

Did you have a good balance to get body fat percentage down to where you want?

I've found that the only exercise I can do on singing days is yoga. I started out running on voice lesson days and quickly realized that it screwed up everything :P

Had an asthma flare over the weekend and have to sing five church services later in the week, so my time is limited.

Thursday, I sing for two hours.

Friday Pilates

Saturday, Sing 8 hours

Sunday, Sing 4 hours.

Happy Passover and Easter to those who celebrate.

Keep on losing!

I opted not to run today because I didn't think I could deal with being alone with my brain for 35 minutes. Of course it was a gorgeous day and I'm having to miss two runs this week due to travel, so I'm sure I'll end up regretting my decisions even if it was the right one to make.

Monday: yoga
Tuesday: running and yoga stretching
Wednesday: yoga
Thursday: yoga or a good walk around campus
Friday: fitness classes (pilates/yoga, tai chi, pilates)
Saturday: walking hopefully
Sunday: walking hopefully
