Exercise timeline - when did you really start?
I started walking in the hospital. Not very far but I was very afraid of blood clots so I pushed myself to do it.
By 2 weeks I was back in the gym doing the stationary bike and back to my regular walking. By 2 months I started running and doing core work. In between I tried a few things but my incisions were still healing and they didn't work too well.

Yep, lots of walking as soon as the procedure was complete and your 2 month window was about the same for my guts to not feel overly shaken and stirred during a workout.

I walked 2.5 miles in the hospital. I walked several miles a day right from the get go and within two weeks was on the elliptical and going at it with gusto! I started running about 6 weeks post-op and have not looked back from that choice. I LOVE RUNNING!!-
