First, thanks for taking the time to read this...I am 9 days post op (sleeve)...How long was it before you started working out? I just walk for now 2 miles a day but I feel I can do more (like trying to run)What kind of workouts did you first try?

I am one month since surgery and only allowed cardio now. There is a higher risk of getting a hernia still so soon out. Hoping to get clearance at week 6 for weights.

You should ask your doctor what is best for you.

I was cleared to do cardio at my 2-3 week follow up appointment. I was cleared to do everything else including core exercises and Bootcamp at 6 weeks.

I wasn't allowed to do more than walking till week 12. This is a question for your surgeon. My timeline was based on what I had done. And it's amazing how accurate they were! I because of all I had done I wasn't even walking upright till week 5. lol! At week 6 I reinjured myself and could barely even walk at ALL. By week 8 I was not sleeping quite so long and felt my energy return. By week 12 I was ready to rock!

I was walking most days from when I came out of hospital and at the gym by 2 weeks.
Light weights followed with free squats etc
I did what ever I was comfortable. I was told no heavy weights before 6 weeks.

Thanks I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow [emoji847]
