Hey Victor,

It'll probably be a while before you feel good enough to do the hard-core workouts you were doing before, so take it slow.  It's okay to walk at a pretty brisk pace, but if it hurts, back off.  I became a runner, and shortly after my first race I needed gall bladder surgery.  I tried to run too soon, and it was pretty painful.  Let your body heal.

I'd definitely wait until you're cleared for more intense workouts.  You've got the rest of your life to work on your health.  A few more weeks isn't going to be that big a deal in the long run.
