How long before you can exercise again??

I had RNY on the 17th and will see my surgeon on Monday.  I am thinking about how soon I can get back to the gym??  I feel good but my stamina is not what it was before.

How soon has everyone gone back?  Have you had any issues going back to exercise after WLS?

I am in the same boat, I am waiting to get the Okay for more.. Right now I am just walking, treadmill the last two days since it has been so cold but I can't wait to start working out. 
I see mine on Monday as well and hope I get the ok to do more... Would love to start on the crunches and situps to work on the belly skin!! :)
Happy New Year and don't pu**** but I do know the more you walk the more you want to walk and the more you can do...

I went to the doc last week and she said just to keep walking for now.I go back on 1/9 so we'll see then. I love to walk so been enjoying that.

I had my surgery on 12/4.  I went back on 12/16 and they said I should continue walking and some light weights (5 pounds) 2 - 3 times a week.  I have been sticking to this and I am hoping after my 6 week date to get the ok to do weights and crunches every day. 

I went back last Wednesday. she said nothing over 20lbs for the next two weeks and then increase to 30 after that.

I was working with a pt yesterday. Worked upper body and did some lower back stuff.

But she let me go to the gym the day I walked out of the hosp. And said very authoratively(sp) Don't over do it!. So I took her avice, kinda. I waited several days before I over did it.

Listen to what ur body is telling you and don't over do it.

I was in the gym as soon as I got released from the hospital. I do 1.5 miles of walking on the treadmill between 2.5-3.5 mph. I go on the 13th this month and am going to ask when I can start doing weights because I am dying to get into good shape.

Check with your doctor's office to be sure when and what kind of exercises to start.
