Yes Try it... but you have to spend time doing a lot of sets. You cannot just do like 30 or 50 and
say ok i did sit ups. I did a minimum of like 150+ and i do them slow and feel every sit up
to where it burns a little. get it? It helps me with restriction I have noticed the last few times
and i didnt want to say anything until I was convinced. good luck and keep me posted please

Also stay hydrated while you work out. I drink 2 bottles of 16.9 oz waters while I work out.
another thing that is happening to me...I dont get winded on the eliptical so I powerhouse it
out.

If I dont get enough water anytime of the day...I think I am hungry when I am not.

Wait.. I just noticed your surgery date. I didnt start doing sit ups until 6 months out.
The poster below said watch for hernias and stuff and not to do it too early.

I am not a doctor, but I know I wanted to wait until I was 6 months before I hard core worked
out. That is just me.

I walked walked walked and ride my bike and jumped rope the first 6 months.
Oh and I hiked and definitely a mall walker.

If you decide to do sit ups... your right stick to a few.

Be careful about doing those too aggressively too quickly - you don't want to create any hernias (though that can be your ticket to partially paid reconstruction)! My doc hasn't wanted me to do any crunches or the like for three months, and while that may be on the conservative side, I don't think I would be hitting them too hard yet even if I had the word to start a month ago.

Hey DrH - how soon did you get into doing the ab exercises and how quickly did you ramp up on them? I resumed my strength training and swimming at around weeks 3-4, at lower levels than pre-op, of course, but haven't gotten back to the crunches, twists, etc - just the non-ab specific exercises which only tickle the abs tangentially.
