    Hi girls,

    Lots of messages about exercise, but what about simple walking?
    How long did you stay completely indoors before going outside?

    And on the day of the op, were you allowed to walk a little bit, like 5-10mins? Basically I’m gonna be staying in a hotel very close to the hospital and it’s 5 min walking distance, so wondering if I should still take mega quick taxi or not?

    its actually good that you get up and walk about otherwise you become stiff and you will be in a lot more pain, I got a taxi to my hotel as I was stil out of it and it was 15mins away but I walked about in the room, and at home, its best to! and then I didn’t leave the house till I as 7 days for my check up! as long as you are not bending down, lifting things etc, going for a short walk is fine x

    I had an uplift and BA and the morning after my op when i was driven home we stopped at a services half way. I got out the car and had a walk around the car park and went in the services/sat and ate. I looked like a right crazy in my dressing gown. As long as ur not going for a long excercise based walk you’re fine to just stretch your legs for 10/15 minutes if you feel up to it

    The afternoon of my op I went for a walk along the canal next to the hotel we stayed in, went to a couple of pubs then had our evening meal in the pub attached to the hotel. I walked to the doctors with my discharge letter yesterday, which is 5 mins away and was tired when I got back, same again today when I walked to school. I think it’s more the tablets that are making me feel so worn out as I’m not really in any pain x

    You are allowed to walk a little bit, but my hotel was only along the road but I wouldn’t have wanted to walk! Everyone recovers differently but I was pretty sick yesterday xx
