How much walking were you doing by week 2 post op?

[bloreorbust 286]

I'm walking about 15 minutes twice a day, and that ends uo leaving me a bit sore but tollerable. I'm wondering where others were with their walking at this stage. Trying to gauge how hard to push myself at this stage.

I'd say you're about on target to where I was. I will say I did push myself a little farther each day. I was about 4 weeks out when I walked my first mile. Keep up the hard work. You'll get there!

Everybody's different, so listen to your body. By two weeks out I was walking a mile or more. At 10 days I went to Mall of America and spent the entire day walking around. I had an unbelievably easy recovery though.

I found out the hard way that overdoing it will make me very nauseated. I tries doubling my walk and made myself very nauseated the rest of the day and night. Then did the same thing again the next night. So it looks like my body just isn't ready to go that far yet. I wish I could walk as far as you all at this stage. I'd love to enjoy the rest of my time off going to some outdoor parks and zoos, but I just don't think I can handle that much walking yet.

I didn't walk a lot after surgery. I was too drained and also in the middle of a big move.

Currently doing well in the walking department. I get tired and dehydrated much more easily but doable.

I prefer walking over the strength training I'm on. That crap hurts like hell. I can imagine my muscles bleeding from so much soreness.

Each day gets better, and do a little more around the house, go shopping, and of course went back to work two post op. Lose about a 1 lb per day.
