Hello, I am a little over two weeks post op, and I was wondering how much exercise are you all getting in?

I was told to try to get in 60 minutes of "brisk walking" per day, but not all at once. Like a few 10-20 minute walks each day. I honestly didn't get in that much in the very early days/weeks, but I tried to work my way up to it as soon as possible.

@@JamieLogical, thanks!

I have a Fitbit so I have been trying to work up to 10,000 steps (I'm 3 weeks post ) I'm averaging @7000-8500 so not there yet !

Im a little over 2 weeks, Im back at the gym doing cardio, 30 mins on elliptical, but no weights yet, will start lifting at 4 weeks out.

I'm 10 days out and was just told to start 30 minutes per day cardio. I wear a fitbit and have walked up to 3800 steps a day so far. So I'll start walking more tomorrow and doing slight lifts to build up. Energy level hopefully will improve as I walk but 400 calories a day doesn't give you much energy.

I was released to go to the gym at 2 weeks, I started with walking/jogging on the treadmill for half hour

What kind of work outs should I do 5 days post op?

@ Luv'n_all-of_Me....Im just over two weeks post op also and I try to get a little walking in every day even if its just walking around the block a few times!! Dont rush yourself just pace yourself even if its just a little day by day!????????????????⚽

@@cuchas very little to none five days out just walk allow time to heal!!

Thanks everyone! @@LynRey70, I have just been trying to get a little bit in daily, nothing too strenuous on my body. I am still at the point where I have to take a nap at least once. I was just trying to see at this point how much is adequate. Thanks LynRey70

I am just over 3 weeks out and started working out doing 30 minutes cardio 5 days a week! Which is what my NUT recommended. I feel good doing that and am starting to feel like more is just around the corner!

I'm 3 weeks post and I've been afraid to exercise much. Will jogging shake something loose? How much exercise is okay? What isn't okay?

I must have the most lax insurance ever. I was able to schedule my surgery within 8 weeks of my consultation. I didn't have to lose any weight first, or provide a whole lot of history.

I'm hoping that's how my experience goes with my insurance. My insurance no longer requires a weight loss regimen for a required duration of time i.e. 6 months

You should have received instructions from your surgeon and if you didn't, you should call the office. I wasn't allowed anything more intense than "brisk walking" until 6 weeks post-op.

Go with your surgeon's recommendations to be on the safe side.
