kkami12 52 Posted February 17, 2017 I am 8 days out from surgery and do quite a bit of walking throughout the day and wanna start doing more. Any other excerslcise you guys have done thats safe only a week out?? Are squats ok? Surgeon never told me whats ok just to walk alot, figuring we'd be discussing at next weeks appointment. TIA ?

Middus 491 Posted February 17, 2017 Do anything that won't put pressure on your abs (squats may strain your abs and increase abdominal pressure which strains the sutures and your healing stomach). Those muscles will be sore for weeks. 1 ShelterDog64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted February 17, 2017 Just walking. You can increase your speed, but stick with that until your surgeon gives you other instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erica_ozzy73 241 Posted February 17, 2017 Walking started week one and weights week two. Free Squats and bands week two also. I didn't have any issues with soreness at all. But everyone is different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
