Weight training

I'm scheduled for my sleeve on Wednesday.. ahhh!! Starting to get a little nervous.. anyways I'm a skinny person trapped in a fat persons body, by that I mean I LOVE going to the gym and lifting really heavy and pushing myself. I know I will have to take some time off from weight training after the surgery but I'm curious how long did most people weight until they were full force back to working out and lifting weights?

I was around 2 weeks then just walking around the block n gym. After 3 weeks I was lifting light and doing free squats. Somewhere around 4 weeks I increased my weights. I never kept a diary or anything so my time line here could be a little out as in I think I started earlier With the weights.
At 2 weeks I was back to truck driving at 3-4 weeks I was jumping on and off the back of the truck ( bit early but had no choice)
I guess when ever u feel ok. Just remember u have the internal healing as welll...

At the end of 3 weeks (a few days ago, lol!) I started doing light weight exercises on the machines so that I could avoid engaging my core. This was the recommendation I got, and it's served me well thus far! I'm going to just listen to my body to see when it can handle more.

It depends on your individual case. My Dr. didn't want me lifting anything heavier than 10lbs for the month. So make sure you listen to your surgeon.
