Walking is fine right from the beginning, actually it helps your body to heal better. Also, I personally was off all weight restrictions and able to do full activities after 2 weeks and was released to start working out in the gym at 3 weeks. So just stick with what your Dr. says and what doesn't hurt and you should be fine. Good Luck.

I was told to walk directly after surgery. So as long as your not doing alot of weight lifting and crunches you will be fine

Oh Sarah I really feel for you. Give her a break guys, she is not the only person on this site to have asked the question or had a drink.

Lmao!

Oh Sarah, I think all the uproar about your half glass is funny. I have run into you on a few of these threads so far. :D

Stay away from crunches! I decided that I was fine to do them I think at 3 or 4 weeks. And yeah, I ended up with a pain in my biggest incision. Not worth it.

Walking is always good, keep your legs toned. Just light work outs to keep the skin toned.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
