I'm almost 3 weeks out and just wondering when everyone started to work out? I'm going to ask my doctor when I see him at the end of this month but thought I'd ask all of you too?

I have not had surgery yet, but my dr. says that we can not do anything but walk until 6 weeks out!

Hope this helps!

Doc told me that I could walk day one but as far as lifting I needed to wait at least 4 weeks..good luck

I could only walk at first but just got the ok to start on the elliptical at 3 weeks out. I can do light weights but nothing over 20lbs until six weeks.

I started around 4 weeks out, but only cardio. I'm waiting til 6 weeks ( which I just got to) to start weights

I'm glad you asked. I was curious about that too. I've heard alof of different times 3 week to 6 weeks. I'm going to ask my doctor at my pre op on 4/29.

My doctor said no heavy lifting until 3 weeks out---and that entails heavy garden work. Walking from the get-go.

Thanks for the responses! I'm going to start walking for now and ask my Dr about the more intense stuff when I see him...
