15 days post op, too soon to train?
Im 15 days post op and ive been doing great ! i can keep my food and all my liquids down and havent had any problems. I found a trainer for a really good price and im starting today . What exercise should i stay away from ???
God grant me with the serenity to accept the things i cannot change ; Courage to change the things that i can ; and the wisdom to know the difference!!!
I was given the clear for light cardio a week after surgery and then given the full clear four weeks post surgery.
Has your surgeon given you any indicator on approximate training times?
I'd suggest do some cardio and some very light weights, but avoid any core/abdominal exercises for just another week or two. You'd hate to do some damage to your new pouch, figured it would be better to be safe than sorry.

I'm guessing everyone is different. I was feeling great at about 2 weeks out & went shopping for about an hour & tore my abdominal muscles. At the time of the shopping it didn't hurt at all, but starting the next morning I couldn't walk because it hurt so bad...my dr said I won't be able to walk for a few weeks now. So I'd suggest taking it very easy at first.
