When did you start working out after surgery?

I know, I know, everyone is different, listen to your body, listen to your doctor, let your body heal.... blah blah blah. I'm just wanting to know when YOU all started working out again. Treadmill, exercise bike, and then more active/ strength stuff.

I started walking day after surgery. Usually mall walking but tomorrow I'll head back to the treadmill at the gym. I believe my surgeon said no weights for 6 weeks.

The second day I was home from the hospital I got on the treadmill. Not much to start but I slowly built up. Good luck!

I didn't resume exercise until 3 months post-op.

I started with a simple walk/jog routine. 2 years later I maintain my weight of 118 pounds on 2000+ calories a day by running 20+ miles weekly, weightlifting with free weights (dumbbells and barbells) 3 times a week, and other aerobic exercises (stationary bike, elliptical machine, stair mill, cross country hiking, etc).

I'm 4 weeks post-op tomorrow and walk about a mile a day. My surgeon says to stay at this until about 6 weeks out, when I can add in weights and other exercises.

Thanks y'all. My doctor told me to avoid get lying out in this heat right now, since I will dehydrate quickly. So I've been trying to use my exercise bike more, but it is painful for me. (That stupid big incision) lol. But I can't wait until I can work out more, even if it is inside .

I waited 6 weeks (seems to be universal advice) before lifting anything. Prior to that stage I would walk places, but only short distances. About 2 months post I hit the weights again. Gradually increasing the rate of work. Now around 8 months post I can work harder than I have before. It's so much easier to do so with the weight I've lost so far.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
