Walk, treadmill, and ask your doctor, not us :)

I am 3 weeks post op and walk the treadmill daily... I don't run yet .. Just walk.

I am 3 weeks out, I hit the elliptical everyday. So serious weights until 6 weeks for me.

My dr told me to start walking immediately after my surgery. He said I could use the treadmill, stair master and bike like 3days after. No weights til a month and a half. It gets rid if the gas and swelling quickly.

I walked the first two weeks, and started with gradual gym visits on week 3. Only cardio at first and only how much your body can handle. Good luck!

I started 20 minutes on the elliptical 3 days out. By a week out I was up to 40 minutes which was my pre-op cardio time. I met with the doctor for my 2 week post-op visit and he cleared me for yoga and weight training which I started today. Yoga and kettlebells felt very good after a 2 week layoff.

Walking is I think the safest thing to do, we can do it slowly at first until we are used to do it. Better yet, consult your doctor to assure your safety.
