when to start

I had my surgery on 4/20, so I am a little over a month post op. When did everyone start actively working out? I mean other than walking? I am ready to start lifting weights, and things like that, but I don't want to overdo it. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!!

I was only allowed to walk for the first 6 weeks post-op.  Then I started adding in lots of other things one at a time!

My surgeon had me on a strict 10lb limit with no strenuous exercise until 6 weeks post op.  I wasn't allowed to lift my 30lb toddler for 6 weeks. At 2 weeks post op they said I could hold him if sometime handed him to me,  but I couldn't do the actual lifting. 

Hernias are a ***** I would be careful doing too much, too soon.

I was cleared to do anything that didn't cause discomfort after my one month appointment.  Just start easy and work into it.  Listen to your body.  It will tell you when you're going too fast.

I walked until about 6 weeks weeks- then started lightly jogging

just now starting resistance training and yoga about a month ago

I didn't start using weights until after 10 weeks and then only light ones. My nurse said she had a client who went at 8 weeks and got a hernia on her first session of the leg press. Scared me pretty bad! Up until then I did walking (with speed intervals) and aquafit/swimming.
