So Im now 4 weeks post op and Im down 20 pounds. not my goal (was 25) but its still more then Ive ever lost. now Id like to start exercising but I dont know what I can or cannot do. I love kick boxing, yoga, and taebo. Im at a stand still in losing so I need to do something more then just dieting. anyone have advice?

I was told riding a bike, walking or swimming only. No strenuous exercises until 3 months out, your staple line takes 8 weeks to heal over....don't want to create a leak. But every Dr. has their own rules, so I'd ask them.

Just get out there and walk for now, an hour or more is best. I would skip the strenuous activities for at least another month if possible.
