Exercise

I am having my ba in two weeks and just wanted to know how long will it be until I can exercise again? even power walks?

I was told you cant do any exercise for 6 weeks after but you can walk as much as you want from day 1! I do a lot of exercise normally so i will be walking every day! Just dont push yourself and listen to your body, so if u need to stop, stop. xx

Yep I was told the same. I had my op on Thursday and didn’t feel like doing anything at all yesterday but have been up and about on my feet today so far. Lack of exercise is going to be very difficult, I am determined not to become a cabbage! x

Ah thanks girls, as long as I can at least go for a walk i’ll be fine! just don’t want to be sitting around doing nothing!! xx

Id like to find this out too, i am 2 weeks post op and feel absolutely fine (no pain, aches or anything) and could defo exercise. i understand not weights or anything but i reckon i could do some cardio and be ok???? xx

I went back to thw gym at 3.5 weeks post opp, but did alot of walking from the day I had my opp, when I went bk to the gym I took my times and gradually increased the intensity of.my.sessions each week, I done light cardio to start with and a few light weights xx

I was walking around from day 2,I think it depends on how you feel,but always follow your post op instructions,if they advise no strenuous exercise for 6 weeks,these guidelines have been put in place for a reason,they are the experts after all,that was the worst part of the op,not been able to exercise as normal when you are generally and active person.xxx
