Hi, I'm 4 weeks post op today and I went back to work three days ago. I haven't really started exercising....what are your experiences. When is a good time to start and how often?

Hi,

I am three weeks out as of today. No weight lifting yet, but I have started a walking program. I would love to use the people but I live in the country which makes it hard to get there, also, the doc hasn't cleared me for that yet.

Good luck,

Michelle

Start walking every day. Even if it's just 10 minutes, do that - every day.

I started on wk 2. Using the treadmill. Now I'm 10 wks and do weights and 30 mins of the elliptical

Was sposed to start back today (2 wks) but my husband used our llcal wildfires (extremely bad air quality) to not leave the hluse. I even reminded him that the gym is air conditioned. And I know I should've gone by myself. Guess Im just not that motivated yet

Started exercising when it no longer Hurt to laugh or sneeze lol. I started at 4 weeks. I'm currently in week 5 and I'm walking/joggin 2.5 miles and weight lifting and feel fine. Just make sure to do what you can handle

At about 3 or 4 days post op I was walking about 1 1/2 miles. By day 7 post op I was walking a bit over 3 miles 5-7 days a week. Was initially told that I could not lift over 20lbs until 6weeks po, but when I went to my follow up appt. with my surgeon at about 2 1/2 weeks out, he said weights should be fine.

I started walking postop day one for about 20- 30 minutes. Since postop day 4, I have been doing an hour on the treadmill each day.

Thank you everyone...I'll start with walking everyday.
