For me, right away, with light walking. I am going to wait 4 weeks out to do any strength training.

I walked the day I got out of the hospital. Not far, but often. Then, after about four or five weeks I picked up the distance and pace. I spoke to my doc about doing the shake weight but was told to be VERY CAREFUL as any lifting before the six-eight weeks is up can cause hernea. So, I would say if you do anything, do light activity with no lifting. The more you move the faster you heal as well. Good luck!!!!

Ok thanks to both for your information, i've been doing window shopping but nothing else for now, will definitely take your advise on waiting at least the 8 weeks . I see my surgeon next thursday and will ask him again when he can give me the go to workout :-)

ok you can start lifting less then 20lbs until about the 8 week after your surgery. but you should be doing long walks
