How long did you guys wait to start the gym back up?

Pre surgery I was pretty consistent with the gym, I tried going just to walk 6 days after my surgery and it just felt weird so I left. I am a week and a half out and want to go back, even if it is just to walk, but not sure if it is safe.

I have been stuck at same weight for 2 days now..

I was cleared for exercise at 1 week post-op. I'm not doing a gym setting because I find it super intimidating but I am taking pilates classes for tonight and zumba for cardio.

What does your surgeon say? Based on what I've read, most people are limited to walking for the first 4-6 weeks after surgery. Then they might start on light weights and more moderate activity.

Walk immediately. Wait 6 weeks for anything else.

I was cleared for exercise at 2 weeks, but told to wait 2 more to start doing any lifting. I go to the gym three days a week, and do a lot of walking on my college campus.

Wonder Woman is a great name for you! I am only 6 days out and I can't imagine going to Zumba for quite a while
