excercise
I walked around my house like 4xs a day for about a week. I walked on my treadmil (slow pace) at 2 weeks for like 15-20 mins at a time. I didn't kick it up a notch until 6 weeks. At 2 months I started the Couch to 5K program and really started running. Good luck!

Stick with the walking for now and then when your doctor gives you a clearence then step your game up

My surgeon gives out exercises to do in the hospital starting on the day of surgery. He is a real get off your ass kind of guy.
With his blessing, I was on the stationary bike in around ten days more or less for 30-40 min, and using weights of ten lbs or less (limit 15 lbs for the first month). I'm not typical in that I had a suprisingly easy post op with zero pain making it easy to just scale down my normal routine. There was no discomfort.
Whatever you do, make that call and get the thumbs up from your surgeon's office first.
