So I'm a month and 10 days post-op, stitches-less, ready and rarin' to go! I just started working out on Monday, 20 mins cardio, planks, push ups. light machines, some core work and 10 more minutes of cool down cardio. ive done that 3 days this week, and got in a 5 mile walk as well, i guess my question /concern is if anyone else started working out and can tell me how it effected their weight loss, and do i have to steer clear of directly workin out my abs because of the band?...im 26 lbs and 24 inches down, 1 month and 10 days post-op, should i be doing anything else to promote dropping more pound-age? lol thanks!!!!!

You should check with your Dr what exercises are Ok at this stage of your recovery. I can't remember how long they recommend to be careful with abdo exercises. Walking etc should be fine.

I had surgery on the 8th of Feb and still haven't been cleared to do anything other then walking. THey still won't even let me lift more then 10 lbs...

My doctor told me no abs for two months after surgery. Light cardio is ok one month after. I know each doctor has their own requirements. To play it safe call your doctor. I don't want you to hurt yourself or hinder your recovery!
