I started with like 15 min 3x a day and now at almost 2 weeks I'm doing about 3 miles on treadmill and at least 6k steps otherwise but I was really active prior to surgery

I FINALLY got back home yesterday after 8/4 surgery. Went for a 25 min walk today and felt so faint that I almost passed out. Hoping to get stronger. Feeling super weak :wacko:

I try to walk around as much as I can. My incision really hurts when I do to much. I'm at day 5. I would say if your gonna walk limit your other activities during the day . You wanna be able to heal and not feel sick! You got the right idea moving around though!

I felt super week up until about a week and a half after my surgery. The key is to take lots of breaks and walk for shorter intervals more times a day.


I'm on day three, and I'm sticking to about 1k steps inside the house, with lots of places to sit down and lots of breaks. I'm finding it's helping a lot with the gas pain.

Walk as much as you can, if you can do more then push yourself. I started walking about 60 minutes 4 days after surgery. It helped with the gas pains and energy. But do what you can handle.
