1 Week post op with lap band

I am so excited I am one week post op and visited my doctors office yesterday. I have lost 21 lbs in the first week. Prior to going there I was getting a little depressed. I have a 4 year old and making his meals was hard. I didnt want to eat the food, more like lick it for the taste. I have been strong though. Hearing this news yesterday made me feel maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. How soon did your'll start excersing post op. How hard was it to get the drive to go?

Virdie; Congrats on your 21 lbs. in the first week. You need to ask your surgeon when you can start exercising. Every surgeon has a different recommendation. Everyone is pretty much encouraged to walk from the first night in the hospital, but I wasn't cleared for higher impact exercise than that until 4 weeks post-op. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 187 / ???
