When can i start doing more than walking?

Hi all

i am 18 days out and am wondering when it is that i can start working out more other than walking. 

Thanks!!

What does your surgeon say? It's pretty universal that we are not to lift anything more than a few pounds until 6 to 8 weeks post surgery. Don't ru****

Ask your centre.  We aren't to lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for a long time.  No working our core for 4-6 months!  However I got the go ahead to work isolated muscles and run 6 weeks out.  I did have to promise to take it slow.  I think they also take it person by person a bit too.  If you were active before they are more likely to let you go back to previous activities.  But if you never did more than short walks they might want you to wait a bit longer.

I was given the all clear to do stupid things in gyms at about 6-7 weeks.  Your doctor will tell you when you can do what.

I can't wait to get back in the gym and start lifting again... but its going to be at least 8 weeks out.
