Treadmill

I'm 10 days post-op. Can I walk on the treadmill now? Or am I being ambitious?

What did your surgeon tell you? Mine said as soon as I got home I could walk outside or on the treadmill. The only limitation was no lifting over 10 pounds, no running, and no machines for 6 weeks.

I feel like the treadmill and the stationary bike have really aided in my weight loss.

I never asked and she said no lifting. So I think I will go for it. I may just call the nurse tomorrow.

The treadmill is fine as long as you don't over do it. I just made a desk/shelf for my treadmill to hold my laptop. I will be able to work. surf, and watch TV while walking..

I wasn't cleared for walking on the treadmill until 4 weeks. I was cleared for walking, but not on the treadmill.

You should check with your doctor before starting on the treadmill.

Yeah, my hubby and kids chimed in so I will be walking the track only until further notice! I tell you, since I had this surgery my 4 kids are involved in every move I make. It's kinda cute in an annoying sort of way.

My surgeon said the treadmill is OK as long as I don't go fast.
