How soon after surgery did you start exercising?

I had my surgery on 4/4 and felt wonderful after. I started walking about a mile a day and I just started an exersise program one night and just joined water zumba today and so far so good. I guess it is how good you feel, let your body be the judge.

alovio, i noticed you've lost 73lbs and your surgery was on 4/20. how much of that was pre-op and how much since surgery? congrats on 73lbs lost!!

I've been walking since Day 1. Yesterday was my 3 week post-op appointment and I asked my surgeon if I could do more exercise yet. He responded, "You can walk faster." LOL

Also just noticed you and I share june 1 as a birthday, of course I am a lot older,what makes it stranger as your 2nd person today that i met that share that bday, just freaky......good luck on your upcomming surgery if you have any questions feel free to to ask.

we were told that we need to walk for 30 minutes a day and at 8 weeks the doc told me that I could do weight bearing exercises.

I started walking the day of surgery, but not really exercise walking. Just around the block at first. I just kept walking further each day till I got up to my pre-op walk: about 45 minutes at a good clip. I also rode my bike starting at two weeks (doc said it was OK but try not to fall :-). At six weeks, I was cleared for heavier exercise and I began strength training three times a week (same as pre-op schedule). I skipped ab work till about 3 months out.
