    Hi ladies!! I’m only 4dpo but I’m already missing the gym!! At what point did anyone go back and do light cardio and legs? I’m thinking maybes after 2/3 weeks. Has anyone else done this, providing they felt okay? Thanks. X

    So glad to read this, I’m seeing my surgeon on Wednesday and have made up my mind I want to go ahead asap, but I live in the gym and preparing for competitions next May. I know I’ve got to take it easy after the op

    I’ve just started back at the gym this week at 4wpo. I did leg extensions, walking lunges with no weight, hack squats, and walked on the treadmill. Main issue I think I’ll have is physically loading the weights up so I had my boyfriends help. It used to a bodybuilding style of weight lifting so using the machines is new to me. I’m very used to the gym and really missed it too. Personally I think it won’t be long till I’m feeling back to normal in legs anyway, but for me I don’t think I could have gone back into the gym any sooner than I did. I’ve been feeling very weak and lethargic since my op it’s really knocked it out of me. Good luck Hun everyone’s different you’ll only know yourself.
