  • Yes. It's too soon to do anything more than walking. My doc said walking only for the first six weeks, then I could ease into weight lifting. Jogging would definitely be too much this early.

    It depends on your physician. I was playing softball at 2wks out.

  • I would just stick to walking. If you walk on a treadmill increase your speed and give it a slight incline lift. I will be six weeks on Monday and can't wait to be able to do some light weight liftin

Yes it is too soon, I'm surprise you doctor or the hospital didnt tell you not to do those things before you left.....

I will be six weeks on Monday and can't wait to be able to do some light weight lifting. I have a doctor's appointment the following week and I need to inquire about the ability to do sit-ups... :huh:

Lissa is on point, I always worked out heavy before surgery and so was doing the eliptical, power walking, and lots of lower body workouts at around 10 days out. Talk to you physician it depends on how you are healing, your previous fitness level and your energy level. Good luck to you.

I would ask your md at your next post-op viit. I had my 10 day post op appt and was told I could swim in another week.

My surgeon says wait two weeks for swimming because of the incisions. Everything else they say is up to how you feel individually. I would say listen to your body when it says enough is enough or too much. I was also sleeved on aug 6th and I have been walking. In another week I will be playing basketball again. Just waiting more the main incision to heal a little more first.
