Can anyone 4 week post op losing weight with excersice tell what kind of excercises they r doing and for how long cause i am walking but not everyday and the days i dont walk i feel lousy any advice will be appreciated

I went for a 6.5 mile walk today and went to PT and did arms and legs strengthening exercises. I am post op 4 weeks tomorrow. I try and walk 3 miles a day and some sort of core/toning-the long walk today was a lot and I feel it tonight!

I would walk, elliptical, bike for about 30-35 minutes which is what my NUT said for me to do!

I walk about two miles every day. I have since about 3 weeks post op (I'm almost 8 months post op now). In the first few weeks I would just go around the block or a couple of blocks. Originally I planned to use Fridays as a rest day if I needed them. I did that once or twice, but found that I felt way better on the days I just went ahead and walked. Sometimes I'll mix in some jogging, but I don't do it continuously for very long because I'm not there yet. I alternate walking and jogging.

you can see how much exercise I get on any given day. But a big part of it is where you are physically. I was a fairly active fat guy, so doing two three mile walks a day didn't bother me, but might be too much for another.

I am 13 weeks post op but I walk 2 miles 3 days a week and do weights 30 minutes 2 days a week

I'm 10 days post op. Havent started exercising yet, but i heard that we need to include weights in our exercise routine so we can avoid sagging skin. I dont know where to start or what to do but i guess i will hit the gym in 3 more weeks.

I can't do too much walking because I have bad osteoarthritis and my knees are bone on bone. I have been going 3 days a week to the YMCA and doing an aqua aerobics class.
