How long until you worked out?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering how long you had to wait until you were able to start working out? I'm 6 days post op, down 9lbs but I'm going stir crazy! Still have 11 days until I can return to work.

I really didn't hit a routine until after my 4 week post-op appointments. But you can definitely go for walks! Just don't be surprised if you tire quickly. Good luck!

I had surgery on a Thursday. The following Monday morning I began a daily routine of walking 1 mile. I had no problems; my energy level was actually higher than the pre-op period.

Had my surgery a week ago Tuesday 2/4 and I have started to walk just a few minutes a day and build from there until I'm walking a lot more and I have a pedometer to help me build my minutes and steps

I was sleeved Jan 7th, I was cleared to work out Feb 3rd. I have been going to the gym 3 days a week since then (lifting weights, doing the stair master). My doctor just told me to go easy at first, especially with anything to do with my core. I feel great now, aside from not being able to eat much I don't even feel like I've been sleeved. :) If you contact your doctor I'm sure they will give you the time frame on when they want you to start working out I'm sure. Happy cardio!

Had my two week check up on Monday. Still not cleared to work out, but I start work again tomorrow. 70 hour work weeks are probably enough work out for me for the time being!
