Im sure this has been posted before but when can you start working out agin? Im 2 weeks post op. Im sure now isn't a great time to head back to working out. I can do cardio by walking but I'm just ready to start using wights and running again.

TIA

Each bariatric program has different rules regarding when their post-op patients can start/resume exercise.

My program permitted leisurely walking from the first post-op day. All other exercise (weightlifting, moderate to vigorous aerobics) was allowed during the sixth post-op week.

I'm 22 days out now. I asked my Doc about this at my 14 day consult. I was told that running and other high intensity cardio was fine for me at 14 days. (but I was completely healed on the outside by then). I was told no weight training until 6 weeks out.
