I'm 11 days post op! I want to start jogging & working out these legs of mine. Is it too early?

I have another post-op appointment on Friday - so I can ask my doctor. But I'd kind of like to start NOW

According to how I'm feeling, I would think it'd be fine... but I tend to get ahead of myself!

Any opinions?

I think you should wait longer. But as I alway say CALL your Doc. You should get his/her clearance before doing anything beyond walking.

Im an April,2011 bandster, My Dr told me no excersicing other than walking for 6 weeks. You dont want to do anything to cause that band to slip. Keep in mind you have stitches around your band and they need time to heal. So be careful.

Too early. One of the biggest problems that causes issues later on down the road is that people do not allow their bodies to heal. You just had a HIGHLY invasive surgery, and now you're looking to run and put stress on your body? Wrong thing to do. Allow yourself time to heal, you'll thank yourself later on. I was told no more than walking for 6 weeks.

I was already lap swimming before surgery so my doctor said I could resume at two weeks. Four days after surgery I was back at the gym doing 30+ minutes slow on the treadmill. Worked up my time and incline until I could go back to swimming. Swimming is great for overweight people. Also Water aerobics can be done at many levels of intensity. You can ask the instructor how you can make moves harder.

Always check with your doctor - I was allowed to ride my stationary bike- walk- treadmill at 5 days - After my 7 day check up I was advised I can do anthing I want except swim (was allowed pool after 2 weeks) no beach, lake or ocean for 6 weeks due to possible bacteria.

If I "bounced" too much I could feel the area where the port is starting to be uncomfortable so I would slow down the bouncing

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
