How long after surgery can you start going to the gym? I've been taking walks around the block but that's pretty much it...

I was cleared at 6 weeks. For the first six weeks I was told to walk.

I went to the gym on my 8th day and only used the treadmill. Now I'm almost 3 weeks and my doc said I could use the bike and no more then 10lbs in weights

Pretty much the same as the other posts. I was on weight lifting restrictions for the first six weeks but was able to get in and get on the hamster wheel (Treadmill). By weeek 6 I was ready to start running and lifting. That 6 week check up appoointment couldn't come fast enough.

I can use light hand weights and, of course, walk. I am looking forward to getting back to Pilates classes after the six week mark, although it is going to be rough to start again with loose abs.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
