I started walking a mile five days post-op. I started Yoga for beginners three weeks post-op and this week I will start Water aerobics, I am currently six weeks post-op.

Every plan is different.

You can began walking immediately, and then increase your type of workout as directed by your doctor.

I'm 12 weeks out. I use a treadmill, bike, and elliptical. I've also been swimming and take a yoga class.

Were you sore from the walking I am one week out. I walked 2 miles yesterday and my body was sore today I honestly thought it was from all the laying around so I went out and did another 2 miles today and I am even more sore.

I was walking 3 miles everyday up till my surgery so I'm not so sure why it's so hard now

I was walking 7-10 miles a day pre-op. The day after surgery, I was bored in the hospital so I did laps. 12600 steps. My surgeon, came up that evening and we were talking and I showed him my fitbit and he showed me his, 9900 steps. We shared a good laugh. Day two in the hospital was worse, as I was even more bored, so I did 14500 steps. It was actually kinda funny, the other patients thought there was something wrong with me.

Since getting out of the hospital, life has not been kind, I've only done a 6 mile walk twice, and I toned my pace way down, because more or less everyone I knew was screaming at me to slow down.

Yesterday at the two week post op check in, all restrictions were lifted, sans 20 pound lifting limit and that goes away in two weeks. I built a gym in my spare room, I am looking forward to starting weight training along with walking and eventually running once I lose enough weight.

I was walking right away. I think I was doing everything but weights once I was four weeks out. Weights I think i started around 6-8 weeks out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
