For me it was once I started solid goods so about 4 weeks out for true workouts. I started doing cardio, just lite walking 30 minutes a day about 2 weeks post op. I would call your doctor and see what the recommend but moving 30 minutes a day as soon as possible was my surgeons goal for me.

Check with your dr. Mine said no pool or strenuous exercise for six weeks.
