How much exercise were you able to do around week 2. Yesterday was 12 days post op and I hit the track to try to do 2-3 miles of walking. After 1 1/2 miles I couldn't walk anymore. My leg muscles hurt so bad!! Prior to surgery I could do 2 miles and now it just feels so tiring. Felt so bad that I couldn't push myself to at least the 2 mile mark.

How did you do 2 weeks in?

I was walking less than a mile. Be easy on yourself -- you came through major surgery and your body needs to conserve its energy to focus on healing. You'll get back to where you were eventually, I promise.

2 weeks in I couldn't walk long or far. I would literally walk every aisle in Walmart or Target and lean on the cart for support. Don't push yourself so soon.

I don't think I could have done that much at 2 weeks. I remember I could feel it in my stomach if I pushed it. Take it slow. The worst thing you could do is hurt yourself. Also make sure you get enough Water. I made the mistake of over doing it and end up in the ER from dehydration. Not fun. It will take 6-8 weeks to heal.

Good luck

Ok thanks everyone!!! I felt so bad that it was all I could do. I was so hard on myself yesterday so I thank all of you!!!!

After two weeks, I would be dead tired after 2 or 3 miles, but I used to walk and bike a lot before the surgery. Don't go too hard on yourself, it's already good that you walk everyday!
