Can you all chime in and tell me at what stage did you feel comfortable doing certain things? Im 2 weeks 5 days post op...and my husband is an avid gym enthusiast... I would go to the gym with him...and i want to go back...TO WALK..see how my body does...and i mean slow walk to start...

The only restriction i have is no lifting over 15lbs. Which i don't plan to do any lifting for a while...

***So curious where did you start when you went back and what where you comfortable doing***

Yes i know im healing and YES I WILL take it easy not looking to hurt myself but walking around the house/work is not enough exercise

Hi! I am almost 3 weeks out and I started walking when for 2-3 minutes at a time when I got home from the hospital and slowly increased it. I am now walking 10 minutes twice a day. I get tired out, but after resting, I get better. Everyone is different. My surgeon told me to listen to my body and that is what I do. Feeling really good!

I'm two weeks out and I walk 1 1/2 miles every day. My legs hurt and I'm drained so as soon as I'm done I relax for a few hours to let my body regroup.

Hi.

I am two weeks out and I can do an hour of elliptical bike per day (mostly fat burn program, no hill challenges or things similar. I keep my BPM around 120 -130 top. No weight lifting yet. I also try to walk my 10.000 steps per day.

Micoxv wow! I have not put my fitbit back on since i had my surgery...i will this weekend...this week i started back on myfitnesspal so all coming back but slowly...

Walking for sure to start...see how i do...omw to gym with him now...keep u posted.

Walking is a great start. Do what you can. Don't push it. You will do just fine.

I just walked some until I was cleared to get in the pool. I do most of my exercise in the water.

So done with gym..40 min...i personally could have done more but one of my incisions was starting to talk to me..."whoa! what are you doing!" I was like ok ok...got off...

​Good morning,

​I am 8 weeks out and I began walking about 1 week after surgery. Like all the others say, start out slow and listen to your body. I started at 20 minutes walking my dog per day. I am now walking her on hiking trails about 45 minutes to an hour. All the up and down walking on hiking trails sure makes for some hard, good exercise! Start out slow and you will do great, best of luck!

40 minutes is pretty good. You listen to your body and that is important. No need to tickle the stitches [emoji4]

I just walked some until I was cleared to get in the pool. I do most of my exercise in the water.

My surgeon also recommended me to swim. Less aggressive on the body. I wait for the weather to be a bit warmer (I am cold all the time now!) before I give it a try.

I am 3 weeks out and I have been walking the last week 30-45 min. I listen to my body and I have found discomfort usually comes from gas [emoji948][emoji3]

Well i dont know if house cleaning counts but i deep cleaned my kitchen and im wore out!
