Sleeve Gastrectomy - Exercise

For the first month after my Sleeve Gastrectomy, I walked as much as possible.  Within, 2 weeks, I was reaching my 10,000 steps goal, which is a little over 4 miles a day.  I've now been walking 10K at least 3 times a week.  Two months after my procedure, the doctor said I could restart my "Women's Result” exercise program.  It's a great program that incorporates weight training and aerobics.  My favorite at-home exercise is using the Swiss fitness ball.  I was concerned about rolling on my tummy, but my doctor said my stomach would be healed by then.  I just have to pay attention to my body and stop anything that doesn't feel right.
