I'm six weeks post-op and won't be cleared for weights until 3 months out. At that point I can start with light weights and progress slowly.

I am finding this a bit frustrating since I did Cross Fit before the surgery and could dead lift 150 pounds (not bad for an old woman). I'm doing cardio in the meantime, but I find it very borning.

What's everyone else doing?

150 lbs!!!! Awesome. But hold on until you get the clear for this exercise. You do not want a hernia or complications so give your body time to properly heal. Time for that coming soon!!!

I was cleared for light weights around 4 weeks post-op, but my surgeon does it on a case by case basis, so I'd definitely wait for that approval.
