readytobeslimxoxox 23 Posted June 9, 2012 Hi, I'm still pre-op and will be sleeved this Monday. I'm so excited and I want to make the most of this experience! So my question is... When did you start exercising after getting your sleeve? And when did you go from light exercises to moderate/heavy workouts? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mesaucedo 207 Posted June 9, 2012 I started walking right away, not long or strenuous walks, but a good ten minutes a day for the first 2 weeks I bumped it up to 30 minutes until I was 6 weeks out. That is when I was cleared to do more by my doc. I started doing exercise videos. At UCSB we have a free gym, but it is filled with serious gym junkies and I don't feel comfy enough to go yet. So I do Jillian Michaels's 30 Day Shred and some Leslie Sanson videos. I use my HRM to keep track of how much I burn. With Jillian Michaels I burn around 320 calories in 25 minutes. I also do a few arm exercises and lunges and squats. Hope that helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notime 340 Posted June 9, 2012 I started walking as soon as I got home from the hospital and increased the distance every day. I waited on moderate/heavy exercise until my doctor cleared me at four weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
