I know it says we can exercise the day after surgery, is it true for that?

How soon did any of you post-ops " exercise " ? >>

Sex is fine right away, although I can't say I was in the mood before I got

my staples out.

I exercised about two weeks after surgery, and here's my schedule:

Exercised 2x a week/ 2nd week after surgery

No exercise/ 3rd week

Exercised 3x/4th week

Exercised 4x/5th week

Exercised 5x/6th and 7th weeks

Exercise for me is walking the treadmill or doing the EFX for 30 minutes;

light weights, an hour of doubles tennis, hiking the trails in the park near

my house (steep incline for 15 minutes, then up and down for another 45

minutes).

I really recommend the exercise, not so much for the weight loss, but for

toning and for helping keep you sane while you wait for the scale to go down.

I'm down about 25 pounds now, at seven weeks.

Good luck!
