Hi!  My name is Kathy and I had my lap RNY nine days ago.  I am 5'4" and weigh 245 lbs, what exercise could I be doing while I am off work ? (due to go back in eight days)   Our weather here is cold and wet, so I am not up to walking outside yet.  I have been walking in place in my living room, what else could I be doing?   When did you all get to start exercising after your surgery? Thanks
Kathy

Hi Kathy, Walkings is about the best thing for you right now. Most surgeons don't recommend anything else until after 4 to 6 weeks, sometime longer. Swimming maybe after the wounds heal. I'd go find a gym or Y with a treadmill or walking track. Baby steps. Good Luck Earl

I agree with Earl on the walking. That was just about all that I was encouraged to do. Can you or someone drive you to an inside mall to walk? How about just going to Walmart, Home Depot or another big box store and walk up and down the aisles? Chris
