SleeveNik 21 Posted November 8, 2014 I'm a little confused as to when I can begin my work outs. I was sleeved on October 28th. Is it okay to begin cardio? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mz.newlife54 103 Posted November 8, 2014 Good question. I was going to wait two weeks and then start going to the gym to do treadmill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted November 8, 2014 I was allowed to do walking right away, light weights (5 pound hand weights) at one month, sit-ups and ab work at six weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AvaFern 3,516 Posted November 9, 2014 I was told I should walk as much as I can and could resume normal workouts at 6 weeks. I was cleared to jog at 3 weeks and I went back to full cardio and lifting at the 5 week mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 9, 2014 I'm a little confused as to when I can begin my work outs. I was sleeved on October 28th. Is it okay to begin cardio? yes. You should start walking ASAP after surgery. Add exercises as you start to feel better. I do mostly Water aerobics so I had to wait for all my incisions to close and the biggest one took a little longer. I went back at 2½ weeks post op. Just be careful if your incisions are closed.

joatsaint 2,814 Posted November 9, 2014 My doc wanted me walking for at least 30 minutes a day from my first day home. At the end of 1 month, I was released to do weight exercies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
