Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what I can and cannot do. I don't go for a post-op visit for 4 weeks which is quiet alot of time. I am now on my 14th day and feeling pretty good. We have been walking a little bit everyday and I can make it about 1/2 mile. Bending is still annoying. I was wondering what kind of exercise that is low impact I can begin doing now. I am used to being very active so I am going stir crazy. I was thinking about water aerobics. It is fairly inexpensive and could be fun. Any other suggestions? I am glad to hear so many of us have come through our ab myos with success.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Hey Becky, My Dr. advised only walking for the first 4 weeks and no swimming until 6 weeks. Definitely, NO lifting. Just hang in there and let your body heal....... ....maybe try walking further. At my 4 week appointment, I was told I could do anything (except swim) I just needed to start it all out slowly and build up. > I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what > I can and cannot do.
