How Often Should I Walk?

I'm only three days post op and I'm not really sure how much I should be walking. Since I've been home, I've been walking around the kitchen and living room for about 10 minutes every hour and a half to two hours (unless I'm asleep). Is that enough?

Thanks!

I don't think there is a *too much* amount. I was walking several miles every day as I HATED the pain in my shoulders and wanted to get off of the pain meds as quickly as possible. Do you feel comfortable walking outside? Can you go out early before it gets too warm for a good, long walk?

Good to know! I plan on getting up a little early in the morning to go on a little walk to see how it goes. I will definitely need to walk before 8 because of this crazy Texas heat! Lol!

Thanks!

I'm right here on the same time line as you. they say to walk one mile a day to start : )
