Back to gym after tummy tuck

I'm going to the gym today for the first time since my tummy tuck 7 weeks ago.  I've been walking outdoors, weather permitting, but my surgeon said I could go back to the gym whenever I wanted.  I'm going to start with some light cardio and see how I feel.  May do a little upper body work on the machines, if I feel like I can get good isolation without putting pressure on my abdominal muscles or my incision.  Am also hoping to figure out what kind of stretching I can do comfortably, as I'm feeling sort of tightly wound up these days. 

I bought some compression running capris, with the thought that they'll help support my abdomen while I'm working out.  If anyone has other suggestions I may find helpful for getting safely back into an exercise routine after a tummy tuck, I'm open to suggestions!
