I'm day 8 post-op and very anxious to get into the gym!

In the hospital and out I've been walking to keep pain down and gas moving. Yesterday I figured I'd go to the gym and walk the treadmill slowly, but prior to that I sat in the sauna which I don't think was a good idea. Wasn't feeling so well afterwards.

While I was walking 1.0 speed, my left side began to hurt (by major incision) so I left the gym, when I got home I took the good stuff (pain meds) but Im ok today to where I was able to clean the fridge out with no problem.

Am I pushing to hard too quickly?

Yes, my surgeon said 6 weeks for cardio and 8 weeks for weights, so ask your surgeon for dates...

I figured if I could walk 20 laps of a hospital wing in a day I could walk a treadmill. I will confirm with my Dr.

Thanks!

At least 6 weeks post op for the gym and sauna, best of luck.

I am almost 8 weeks post op, started walking immediately. It took a while to walk a mild but now I walk a mile ever other day. I was cleared for all exercise at 6 weeks but so far other that some toning using bands not taking to it. We have a gym membership ( I actually walk by the gym on some of my walks!) but I just don't like it...

I just got a gold gym home gym. Lots of exercise putting it together. Paid $75.00 for it on Facebook, still in the box! Going to start alternating a toning day with a walking day. Hop my weight loss will sky rocket!

I walk 2 miles ever 2nd day... why can't I edit my posts on my tablet?
