post op ... What kinds of exercise can I do ....
Mostly walking at this point. My doc's general program would have allowed me into the water by three weeks for some gentle work but I was still having a bit of drainage so didn't get into the pool until four weeks out. I did start doing a little selective strength training (had been doing a lot pre-op) with the weight cut way down and my abs isolated. If you have a Wii Fit, a lot of those exercise/games are good, and help promote balance and a bit of gentle stretching that didn't get done by simple walking and felt so good (I used to joke with my wife when she was going thru this a few years ago that is was like she was going thru puberty again, having to get used to a constantly changing weight and balance (oh, no - not that again!!)
