While you\u2019re still in the hospital, patients are encouraged to walk around with the assistance of the nursing staff to avoid blood clots and other complications. Once you\u2019re home from the hospital, walking daily for a minimum of 30 minutes not only benefits your cardiovascular health but also gets you started on an easy-to-follow fitness routine. At approximately one month after surgery, with the approval of your surgeon, you can graduate to more physical exercises. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise is an important part to any patient\u2019s weight loss journey as it helps prevent the slowing of your metabolism. Exercise, both cardio and weight resistance, adequate protein intake (60 grams for women and 80 grams for men) and proper vitamins will help keep you in shape, decrease loose skin and build muscle. Whether it\u2019s a walk around your neighborhood or a group fitness class, exercise also helps keep your skin elastic and improves the overall tone of your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are you wondering about as you enter your post-op bariatric journey? \u00a0Send us your questions\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Part of NJBC's Bariatric FAQ Series\u00a0 When can I \u2026 \u00a0get back to my fitness routine?
