I'm 6 days post op and my parents are on my case about going to walk every single f****** day! I just had surgery, I'm weak, I don't feel well enough to get up and walk in this hot sunny south Florida! I want them to let me do what I feel comfortable in doing and stay out of my business! I'm tired of it!

Anyone else deal with this? Any advice?

Hi!

I'm 3 weeks post - op and am now walking regularly, but certainly wasn't walking a lot at 6 days! I say take your time and do what feels right to you.

I bought a recumbent exercise bike off Amazon for less than $200, and I use that for my exercise.

Our temperatures here in Southern California have been running towards 90° and over and I don't walk well in those kind of temperatures. Plus, I have back issues that make walking for long distances very hard for me. Downright painful.

Just an idea.

I have a desk cycle. I used to live in a terrible neighborhood. I wasn't going to go outside by myself and risk getting mugged, run over or worse. The apartment was tiny - 600 sq ft. I would walk around when I could, but two adults with a lot of stuff and four cats means not much room for anything. I got the desk cycle so I could pedal while at the computer or while sitting on the couch. My team really liked this idea and said they would recommend it to patients with space issues. I would still get up and shuffle around the rooms the best I could several times a day. Thankfully I've moved to a much more rural part of the state where I can walk freely and my college campus pretty much forces me to walk 30 minutes a day between classes and my car.

You can just walk around your house a little bit. You shouldn't overdo it, esp. 6 days out

I am so glad your doing well! If pain was the complication then my prayers were answered now the journey begins! Next month I will be joining you. So we can grip laugh cry but more important lose weigh and get healthy together!

Walking will actually give you energy help strengthen you quicker. Just go slow, stay hydrated and cool while you do. Walk laps in your house. For instance chair to kitchen 2-3 times before sitting one day tomorrow up it to 4 if its too quick do 3 then 4. As long as you do more today than yesterday every step is an improvement. If that's too easy. Go to the mall or a store window shop at pretty things a couple sizes 2 small. You'll be there before you know it
