Hi Leaha

I'm 6 1/2 weeks out. I think everyone's different, but at 2 weeks out I was still taking it easy. I don't think you should walk more than a mile a day for sure. There's plenty of time for that later, right now you just want to take care of yourself and heal. It hurt me to bend over until probably 4 weeks out, but now I can do anything and I feel fine. I still get tired easily because I'm not getting all the nutrition in I'm supposed to. But I go to the gym at least 3 times a week and walk and bike for 60+ mins. One thing to make sure you do is try not to lift over 10lbs until your Dr clears you. I know its hard, I have a 3 yr old, but I messed myself up pretty bad from lifting him, and my Dr said I was risking having issues with my incisions if I kept doing it. Luckily I was able to go to my parents out of state and they did all the heavy lifting for me with my son. Not everyones that lucky, but just try your best

I was told I could walk about a mile or as tolerated. I start Sunday and I am looking forward to it:)

Just start doing things in extreme moderation, near home, with a buddy...go from there. Your body will tell you. LISTEN!

No problem with driving if your not taking pain meds. When you go walking, do you have a binder you can wear to give your stomach some support? that would help a 1,000 times. Keep it up.
