When can I start excercising? I'm 5 days out and I'm losing but I want to be the one who decides where I loose it at! Lol!

You can't spot-reduce fat. Fat comes off from wherever your body feels like it. You can train different muscle groups to tighten and tone, but just because you do more crunches than leg lifts doesn't mean your tummy will get smaller first.

That said, weight training should wait until 6 weeks and cardio will need to be cleared by your surgeon. For now just walking at a pace that makes you sweat for half an hour is sufficient.

an article i read recently says its like wanting to dip a cup of water out of the bathtub and have it come only from one corner and stay that way! obviously you cant do that.
