excercise after RNY

I started walking in the hospital before I came home from surgery.  By a week post-op, I was walking a mile or more every day.  At 2 weeks post-op, I was released to start doing water exercise again.  And, at 8 weeks, I started strength training.  I don't think I've slowed down since then except when I was recovering from my plastic surgery last year.

As a personal trainer, I tell people to listen to their bodies.  If it hurts, then STOP.  I don't mean the soreness you get the next day, that's normal.  I mean the "OMG this REALLY hurts" you would get while doing the exercise.  Stay away from ab wor****il about 6-8 weeks out.  Ease into it slowly and make new healthy habits.
