I have been doing walking all along, but did not start strength training until week four post-op, with a limit of five-pound weights.

I was walking almost immediately after surgery - laps around the nurses station. I was on the treadmill one week after surgery. Not killing it, but a nice walk.

I am one week out and started back on the treadmill yesterday - 20 minutes.

I am not allowed anything but walking for 4-6 weeks.
