I haven't had surgery yet but I thought it would be a bad idea to ask those who have had surgery about your activity levels after surgery. I signed up for a women's weight training class and Pilates, my surgery is August 4th. I will have about two weeks to recover before going back to work and then a week later I start school and those gym classes. Does anyone know if it would be a good idea to do a weight training class and Pilates? Anyone try these classes before, after their surgery? How was your experience! I would appreciate any responses!

Thanks!

Hey there.. Im pretty athletic and I just back into working out as fast as possible. It took about 2 weeks of down time with light walking. 3rd week I was power walking and about the 4th week I was running. You do have to have your tummy wrapped because you'll still have to deal with the wombs healing and your insides that heal slow.

You will find yourself turning the wrong way or something and it'll feel like your insides where ripped.

Wouldn't recommend weight lifting for at least the 6 to 8 weeks later and your Dr will say the same.

About 6 to 8 weeks I was back don kick boxing but found that I had times when I went hard that I should have maybe been sitting my butt down somewhere.

I started pilates 2 months before surgery and now i do it every day. Pilates has been great for me.
