When is it safe to start exercising post op?

You can walk a lil bit right away. Down to the corner & Back. Increase a lil bit everyday. In a week to 10 days start with a mile & build up. I walk 3 miles everyday for the last 3 yrs. Lost 185 lbs so far. Have 40 more to go

Thank you Mariposa. Good Luck to you. Set short term goals. Weekly or even daily goals. Time passes fast. You can do this. Change your eating habits. Lean meats & veggies, no sugar, no sodas, no fast foods. I also gave up bread & pasta. Get plenty of protein. I have a Premiere protein shake for breakfast everyday. 30 grams of protein. Incorporate cardio into your lifestyle. Eating right plus exercise is the key to your success. It’ll be a month or two before you get back to regular food. The hard part is over. A great future lies ahead for you
