hotmamma1979 42 Posted September 19, 2016 When did you guys start excercising after surgery? Not the daily walking but weights or something more strenuous. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted September 28, 2016 For the first year after surgery, I walked 30 minutes each and every day. I was cleared for lifting after my first follow up appointment with my surgeon. I am not so much lifting weights because it seems like wasted effort to me but rather into manual labor. So during each of the second and third years after surgery, I moved 100,000 pounds of gravel by hand along with around 60,000 pounds of concrete blocks for one of my building projects around the house.
