How soon can we start to exercise?

I'm two weeks out . . .

I know I can't go back to the gym yet, but I think I feel ready to walk -- it's around 2 miles.  Am I being over ambitious?

Absolutely not...you want to walk as much as possible especially right after surgery...I was doing cardio at 3 weeks out so if you feel up to walking I would go for it girl! Its great that you are motivated to exercise! 

I too will be two weeks out Monday and I went to the DR 10 days post op and told them I was walking....They said that was GREAT! I then told them I got on my elliptical for 20 minutes and they FREAKED out because of the movement in my abdominal area. Just keep moving...and LISTEN to your body!

Happy Losing!

Walking to a great thing..  Keep walking and good luck... I was up walking the night of my surgery and that is all I did for the first couple of weeks..


Good Luck...

THANKS for the advice . . . and I did the walk! :)  It felt great!
