I am cleared to do crunches/sit-ups at 4 weeks and I am now 5 weeks post op but this seems to early what does your doctor recommend for you when you can do sit-ups?

I was cleared for that at 6 weeks, but didn't start until 8 weeks. My scars, especially the big one, was still a bit tender, so I was afraid.

I’m not cleared for anything besides walking until 6 weeks at least, probably 8

I started with walking and elliptical for the first two months. After I was released from my doctor, I got into weightlifting (including abdominal work)

I was just planning on starting when my stomach is completely healed maybe 8 weeks right?
