Many on BP have said 30 days post-op, they were released to light weighted exercises.

I too was okayed at 30 days for weight training.

I never really got into a regular weight training program.

I've stuck to walking as my primary exercise program.

For the first month I did only walking. 6 weeks I started doing the treadmill with an incline. It wasn't until 8 weeks that I started to do weights and start doing core work. Start slowly as your really not getting a lot of calories so even burning 200-250 is probably half your daily intake.

Good luck-

30 days before light weights. Start slow, go up no more than 10% per week, and increase your Protein as you go. I noticed hair loss as I started getting into heavier weights two months post opp. So I started shooting for 100g daily and 180 on days with big workouts.

Depends on your healing and your doctor's protocols. I was okay'd for light weights (10lbs) at 2 weeks and could resume regular aerobic core workouts at 3.
