I am 3 weeks op and my surgeon said is ok to work out and use the sauna etc. My questions are:

How soon did you start working out and what kind of exercises you did? 

How many times a week you work out?

I just joined a gym and I will do the treadmill ,as well as the elliptical. How many minutes you train and which exercise machines you used or you currently use. I know everyone is different. I just need some ideas that I am starting to work out. :) TIA

Well Im 6 days out and I went back to the gym today. I only moderately walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes though. I can't lift any weights or I won't run on the elliptical til the doctor clears me. My mom yelled at me but I was in the gym 2 months straight, 6 days a week all the way up to my surgery date and my body was calling the gym. I felt so good as I was walking. I kept sipping my water. (drank protein shake before and after). I will say I have been tired the rest of the day. But I will be back in there tomorrow.

I was advised to wait until after my 6week check up because the abdominal stitches could be damaged by over abdominal use. I did some light walking around my house, and around the neighborhood but really did adhear to the doctors orders.
