Subject: Working Out After Surgery
Hi!

Just wondering if anyone has experience working out following surgery (supposed to be quick and easy and laparoscopic but turned into major intra abdominal surgery).

I had the surgery about 6.5 weeks ago. I've just been cleared to go back to the gym - no lifting, no swimming, no running. Just walking on the treadmill and the stationary bike. I have no resembalance of cardiovascular fitness left.

I know everybody is different -- nobody will give me a timeline but should I be back to normal soon?? haha I'm getting a little restless.

It's easy to want to get back into the swing of things.....but as I learned with both of my knee replacements, it's easy to overdo.....the end result was taking a bit longer to recover than if I'd not been too "enthusiastic "......so be patient and go slow as you return to your exercise/training routines.

What we see is that people want to look good – in a bad way. Our society paints a picture of beauty. But nobody wants to really go back to basics of diet and exercise as the fountain of youth.
