Post-op Expercise

When did you start adding exercise to your routine post surgery (aside from walking)? And what did you do?  

Eliptical at 4 weeks and upper weights with core protection ( no strain ) full bore at 6 weeks

My Dr said no weights for three months. Walking, running, elliptical were all fine at about one month. I started weights at three months and one week :-) just to make sure. But walking, running etc at a month was good for me. It all depends on your energy levels.

I think it also depends on your pre surgery fitness.  If you were a gym rat before, it is probably easier to get back (as long as you are careful and progress gradually.  I have seen posts from crazy people who have been back at Zumba within a week of surgery and wonder why they are dizzy..... REALLY?  lol!  They totally caught hell from the other posters.   In the MB program, I had permission for anything after 6 weeks but on the flip side, they wanted me to walk for at least 30 mins a day from the first post op surg day (not all at once) and I had no prob with that.  Just take care
