I am thankfully feeling pretty good post op. I have a little soreness still but thats about it. I am getting anxious to start exercising. I've been hiking and walking etc... but I belong to a club just down the road from my work. I was going on my lunch hour every day before surgery and I'd like to return. Its just a "curves" type circut workout. Its not super strenuous but there is some lifting and pushing and pulling etc.

My doc said lite exercise after 3 weeks and whatever I want after 6.

Anybody know if Curves = lite? :biggrin0:

I don't think you are supposed to do any of the lifting weight baring stuff until after 6 weeks. I know I wasn't supposed to do anything ab related until a month out.

Yea... I should probably wait. I don't want to do anything crazy... I'm just ready to get this show on the road!!

thanks

Do you like swimming. Its a good way to get in some of that resistance without putting a lot of impact on your body. And if you are hiking and walking you really are doing great! It feels good when you don't have to keep feeling like a patient and you get to feel like you are really doing the work you need to in order to change your body.

What about incisions..... will waterproop bandaids work???

Oh! That was dumb of me. Wait until they are all the way healed. Swimming pool and wounds is a horrible idea! But in a couple of weeks you swim girl!!!
