Right now I am doing a mile min. In 23 to 25 minutes on the treadmill and am doing upper body and leg machines. Minimum 3 times a week. Some days I get to a mile and a half or a little more on the treadmill !! Slowly building up

Well, i do heavy weights, not light. But i work all body parts, total of 5 days a week lifting. And i do cardio 5-6 days, generally anywhere from 20-45 minutes, depending on my weight training.

I walk 2 miles 3-4 days a week. We have lots of hill where I live. I'm 4 weeks post op so I haven't started lifting yet. I also lift heavy and I probably wont be able to do that until I'm at least 7-9 weeks out from surgery. I might have to just settle for the 5-10 lbs girly weights lol but it's better than nothing :) I plan to start running once I get the all clear but it's too early for that.

it depend on how far out you are. i was told no heavy workout for 3-4 months. i just walk on the treadmill and do some on the floor leg work. you have to becareful.

I guess it all varies by surgeon, just like pre and post op diets. My doc said i could return to cardio as soon as i felt like it, and no restrictions in the gym after 3 weeks. But i was highly active and very fit before surgery, and i heal quickly. So definitely listen to what your doctor recommends, for your particular case.
