How long should I wait to start lifting weights during workout

I started 4 weeks after my surgery . My doc told me as long as I didn't need pain remedy to go hard !

I think I waited until about 7-8 weeks but I'm not quite sure since it's been a while. I lift about once a week and lift heavy weights. I'm still sore from my Friday weight lifting session :/

I was cleared by my surgeon at 6 weeks. He said to just avoid stuff that put a big strain on the stomach for a few weeks after that, so I focused on legs and arms at first.

Mu doc has me lifting weights before I'm even off liquids. Get that. Three weeks out and lifting ordered but can't change eating phase until 1/31. I did have hernia repair but geez something seems off here. Good luck!

All Drs are different I went home from hospital and was told to eat purried foods. One week later soft foods ! After that chicken fish cooked veggies canned fruit! I'm waiting for go ahead on salads . I see nut next week!

Crftskathy,

I know it. Drastically different. I'm sick of Greek yogurt but glad for it I guess.
