No exercise/swimming for 6 weeks?!……11 days post op and I feel fine!

I am 11 days po and although they are still quite hard and high up, I dont have any pain except for in the mornings when I first sit up in bed. Other than that I feel fine! I really want to go swimming or to the gym but they say 6 weeks! I am not even 2 weeks post op and I feel like this, at 4/5 weeks I am sure I am going to feel absolutley fine to start doing exercise again!…..But should I still wait? Hmmm xx

i 100% wouldnt go swimming hun because you could get an infection, but i went back to the gym at 3.5 post opp and i was fine just took my time, if you feel fine just take things slowely and dont push yourself, listen to your body, if you feel yourself struggling, stop xx

Ahh right so its because of the chlorine that you cant swim, I thought it was purely because of the arm movements! Yeah I will probably do that, I hate not doing exercise! And I am eating more being sat at home, fully going to pile on the pounds! xx

not just the chlorine all sort of germs are in pool water same as bath water, go for plenty of walks hun, i did lots of long speed walking lol xx

Yeah I have been walking every day, I can just about now push my little boy in his buggy so I will be walking up hills for a proper workout! Haha xx
