is it safe to do stretching exercises in the first 3 weeks after surgery?

I was back in the gym three weeks after surgery doing my full routine. My team just told me to listen to my body and be careful with lifting that involved my core. I was doing 45 minutes to an hour on the recumbent bike and then a full weight circuit on the machines (not much by way of free weights until I was 6 weeks out.) If you do it and your body feels oK, then do it more. Just be careful with any abdominal stretching. If it hurts, stop.

The above poster wrote what I would have written! Same story. Just be mindful and listen to your body.

Yes
