    Everyone is different. Your ready when your body thinks its ready. I started lifting and sit-ups and all this past Tuesday and I personally feel great about it. I've been walking but also starting Tuesday il moved onto a slight jog.

    Awesome thank you...but I'm just scared to get a hernia, cause my doctor said starting too soon can cause them.

    Only thing my doctor told me was not to lift more then 30 pounds first 3 weeks but seems every doctor says different.

    I played soccer after 6 weeks. Just talk with your doctor and find out what they allow.

    My doc said 6 weeks. I am a nurse and couldn't go back to work until then because of all the lifting that I have to do. I would wait another week to be safe.

    I did weight (machines) at the gym today for the first time and felt good. I'm 5.5 weeks.

    My doctor didn't want me doing any weight for 6 weeks. Just walking. He wanted me to be healed so nothing would happen. But ask your doctors as everyone's plan is different.
