If you've been healing well. I'd say see what your body is asking for. I started with a personal trainer 2 months out and I'd get winded pretty quickly but 2.5-3 months out I now have to run instead of walk on the treadmill in order for my body to feel as if its working out. I've also added strength training.

I had my surgery on 3/22/16 and feel GREAT. My HW: 318, SW:280 and CW: 214.6. I would say this has been the best decision of my life. I did suffer one complication which is constipation but thats it. I've been working with my surgeon and her team to increase my Fiber. As far as exercise I did go to the gym before surgery and would do the treadmill and the elliptical. I have been back to the gym and find that I have to run now in order for my body to feel like it is working out. I'm excited for future results. Due to increased workout my surgeons wants me to try to get to 1000 calories a day. I'm currently anywhere between 650-850. If I don't hit the 1000 it's ok but I have to remember to give my body the appropriate rest before I run again. Now I can run anywhere from 3-4 times a week. I also do strength training. I did personal training immediately at 2 months when cleared to exercise and it was difficult. However now my body has adapted and wants more. Congrats EVERYONE!!!!! SaveSave

I'm 7 days out as well. I shared with my surgeon today that I have a NutriBullet RX, which basically liquifies everything and she recommended continued use. I've been putting soups in there and basically making it juice. The added benefit of the NutriBullet is that it heats and cooks as well.
