Working Out Post-Op



Recommended Posts

I was cleared to do anything that was under 15 pound lift as soon as I felt up to it. My surgery was on a Tuesday. By Saturday, I was sitting on the recumbent bike at the gym and did about 45 minutes of cardio. I was walking hours after surgery. After my 2 week post-op visit, and my incisions were checked, I was cleared to do whatever I felt up to. I got in the pool at that point, because swimming was easier on my knees. At about three weeks out, I started working with my trainer again - cardio, weights, whole nine yards.

But your team may have a different opinion.

I was sleeved 2/9 and still waiting for clearance for weights (more than a gallon of milk) as there is apparently risk of causing hernias in the stomach muscle area. Expected to be cleared on 3/28. Check with your doc tho.
