I had my sleeve done may 31st 2019. My surgeons office isnt the best with giving information unless i ask them. I emailed them asking how much excercise am i supposed to be doing right now? Im in liquid stage still. They said excercise is always good but remember u just had surgery so baby steps.

What does that mean?? I like directions and that wasnt what i was hopeing for.

Am i supposed to be walking everyday for 30mins or an hour?

Am i supposed to be jogging i just dont know what will help my weight loss. I have been the same weight for 3 days now and not exercising until my docter said it is always good so wondering how much??

I dont think getting a gym membership at this point is good right?

I guess i thought the first month was healing time so i didnt need to do anything???? Someone know whats best???? Thanks

Walking for now at your own pace. I started to walk on the treadmill one week after surgery for 30-40 mins. I tried the elliptical at 2 weeks out but did not have the strength and stuck to the treadmill. I am 6 weeks out and started spinning 2 weeks ago and the elliptical machine is a breeze. I am waiting for clearance for weights next week once I see my medical team on Wednesday.

Congratulations and good luck.

Ok. Awesome thank you!

My surgeon suggested (strongly) that I get in one hour of walking a day, in 2 to 3 separate walks. I have yet to get there! I walk 30 minutes in the morning and workout with a personal trainer 2 times a week for an hour. Im 3 months post op.

i think they re worried about blood clots after surgery so that is why they tell you walk around..and also about post surgical pain.. it can help to walk around...

They kept me in my room, on 02 and on Leg Pumpers. I would much rather walked , met other recouperees and not felt like I was under punishment, for my age or something worse! If I had not had my son staying with me, I would have died of loneliness. They just came in once a shift, did my vitals and then left, hardly spoke to me, since I had only got to protein shakes before dismissal, I didn't even see Dietary!

My doctor recommended walking 10 mins of every hour for the first 6 weeks. He will not clear me for exercise until my 6-week appointment.
