Cathy1985 4 Posted February 4, 2015 When should I start exercising post surgery? I'm 3 months since the sleeve, but I still feel without any strength or energy. I just don't want to hurt myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freshair 135 Posted February 4, 2015 I was told by my team that walking as much as you can even if it's 10 min 3 times a day and full exercise of course to your comfort zone by the 3rd month. Ask your team see what they say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pkdvm 175 Posted February 4, 2015 I'd ask your doctor. I was cleared for exercise at 2 weeks post op, with walking as tolerated before that. Perhaps a review of what you're able to eat would be helpful also, as that may be related to your lack of energy. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheleLynn45 615 Posted February 4, 2015 Definitely check with your doc, but you should be good to go by now. I was walking since day one and back in the gym, on the treadmill about 9 days out. I would definitely talk with your bariatric team to see why your energy feels so low. I remember being amazed at my energy levels and still am to this day.

JamieLogical 8,711 Posted February 4, 2015 I was told to do 60-90 minutes of walking per day immediately post-op and begin more intense cardio and strength training at 2 months post-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☁️9⃣B???? 55 Posted February 8, 2015 I was gonna ask the same question. How soon can we start exercising? And does it have to be only treadmill and walks? Or can we use an elliptical trainer? I loooovvvvveee the elliptical trainer a billion times over treadmill.... I love the hop! ???? And I love swimming... But will surely wait for the incisions to heal. My surgery will be most likely end of February, surgeon hasn't given me a date as yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
