Walking is good. At TWH we aren't allowed lifting anything over 20 lbs for 3 months...so some lights weights would be fine. Also no abdominal wor****il 6 months.

Hope that helps.

just walking really, they told us at my 1 mth followup last week not to do anything that tightens your abdomen.

Just walking at this point. I started doing some biking and zumba and aquafit around 3 months. I was told to wait to start doing any cardio until 3 months but each centre is different so check with your bariatic support team.
