I was walking 2 miles at 4 days post op. Walking is fine just listen to your body and don't over do it. Ask your doctor if you are unsure. I started a couch to 5 k running program at 5 weeks post-op.

i think most people are released for more strenuous exercise by 6-8 weeks.

I'm 17 days out and I walk 1 mile a day. I'm using 2lb hand weights doing arm toning really want to get those bat wings toned as I lose. I do stretching and light cardio. There is an awesome bariatric chair exercise video on YouTube I love it.

Started walking regularly at about 4 days, was up to a couple miles by two weeks and started couch to 5k at four weeks.

With my Dr's blessing I went back to Crossfit at 2w5d after my surgery. I'm almost 8 weeks post now and I'm still not lifting heavy (nothing over 100 lbs), but I'm getting in a good workout anyway.

My doctor gave me the go ahead to work out without restriction at 3 weeks post op because I am doing so well with recovery. That's this Thursday.
I would definitely check with your Doctor though because every surgery/patient is different.

Did you do crossfit before your surgery? I do a really intense HIIT workout and I'm anxious and depressed thinking about not going for 6 weeks. I'm hoping once I have the surgery (July 31) and my incisions heal I'll get the okay because I was doing it before. They're my community much like I hear crossfit is.
