I was told 6 weeks

I was told 4 weeks by my surgeon and my weight restriction is lifted. Since I have another week to go I joined another gym just to get in the cardio. Walking got pretty boring

Yeah I can't wait to find out at my 2week app. I hope 4 weeks I can deal with that lol. What about walking do I have any restrictions at that. I mean I do walk every day about 5 times a day like half way around my block. I just don't milk now how much I'm allowed to.

I was told any amount of walking was good from the very beginning and was cleared for all exercise at my four week appointment.

I was cleared for cardio 7 days post op which included walking, cycling, elliptical (what I chose). I just had to make sure I didn't engage my core too much. For strength training, I had to wait until 6 weeks post op.

I haven't been able to work out in the last 7 weeks because I am post op tummy tuck on 9-10 and post op breast lift on 10-22.... I am going nuts! I just don't want to lose all of the muscle that I have gained in these past two years. I am going to start hiking again on Friday....and I know my doctor wouldn't be happy to hear that, but I feel good.....and I don't plan on pushing myself any harder then I can handle. I believe that if you feel up to it then light exercise will be fine. Don't go trying to do any power lifting or anything, but some light cardio should be fine. Good luck! :)
