bradycone 94 Posted May 15, 2013 I'm 10 days post op and I feel great. My packet from the hospital says that I can't lift more than 10-15 pounds for a month post op. It's driving me nuts....I can't do yard work, projects around the house, etc. What kind of restrictions did everybody else have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnlatte 1,232 Posted May 15, 2013 I had the same, and stuck to it. The stomach muscle wall needs time to heal or a hernia is a real possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeriouslyChange 319 Posted May 15, 2013 I stuck to it as well. At 6 weeks, I tried a class at the gym. Cardio, weight training. I had that shooting pain from the first week return. Don't push, you'll heal up soon enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
