Just curious when have you all started working out more than just walking. I'm barely 8 days since surgery and have barely been walking but before I was doing Zumba, hip hop, & lifting weights and I miss it sooo much!!! My dr said we will discuss when I'm able to do more on my appt Friday. =\

I had surgery on the 27th of September and I started back on my Jillian Micheals 30 day shred on Monday. I was 11 days post op. I wasn't careful with the ab workouts and I had one incision start to bleed on the second day. I'm trying to be more careful now.

I was told only walking for a month because your port incision needs to heel.

I'm 8 days post op...I was told only walk 15 minutes a day, 5 minutes at a time for 3 weeks. Start exercising after 3 weeks... No ab workouts for 6 months..

I'm still sore. liquid diet (21 days) fills me but I can't wait to eat solids. My Dr doesn't do misjudged or sort phase. It's liquids 21 days then solids...

Good luck to all! I really enjoy reading this forum.

Just noticed typos in my post ....

"My Dr doesn't do soft or mushy stage.".

I was told to walk as well. I did try riding the stationary bike and felt a slight pull so I am not pushing it. I do walk a mile several times a week and today went on a college tour so had to do quite a bit of walking but it was fine.

I waited 4 weeks before I started back to Zumba and abdominal machines.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
