hey ya'll. i'm semi new here. about to be banded day after tomorrow and i wanna start getting my plan together on exercise for after my band. what do ya'll feel is the best post banding exercise that gives you a good workout but doesn't totally leave you dying and unable to move? lol

Walking is always a good place to start then add hand wts to build up the arms. Good luck and congratulations.

I joined a gym, i do weights and 30+ min on the eliptical

The best exercise for YOU is one that you will do, consistently, forever. Yes, you will modify your regimen. But you need to choose something that works for you and grows with you.

That may be very different for you than it is for me. But I love walking. I up my speed/intensity and distance--but it's something I look forward to doing every single day---often more than once.

I also do weight lifting at the gym---which is something I'm less enthusiastic about, but committed to nonetheless.

In the immediate postop period, I think it's probably the "best" for just about everyone--but as you work into a new regimen, you might choose something different. The possibilities are endless!
