Re: When to exercise again after surgery?

[Guest guest]

Hey,

My surgeon gave me the whenever you feel comfortable too, but also

said if I lift weights make sure it is very low weight so you do not

clench your jaw. I started doing cardio after 3 weeks and started

back lifting again after 4. You can do it but just stay with low

weight and dont do the extra couple reps that is going to make you

really strain

My doctor gave me the ok to do anything i wanted at 3

weeks (as long as my face wasn't in danger of being

hit . i asked if i could lift weights and run, and

he said, anything i want to do. i've been starting out

easy and haven't had any problems. just don't push

yourself too hard. i figure we've already been through

so much, why not take it slow so nothing gets harmed.

good luck

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op (this coming Tuesday

afternoon to be

exact). I only had upper surgery and feel pretty

good. I've also

started walking again as my exercise regimen for the

time being. Do

you think it'll be safe for me to start weight-lifting

again and

doing crunches, lunges, and squats? My OS told me to

take it easy

and gave me the go-ahead to exercise " whenever you

feel like you

can. " Well, that doesn't really help me! He warned

me again high-

impact exercises, though. So, when did you guys start

going back to

your normal exercise routines?

Thanks for the heads up, Aileen. I'll definitely not push myself too

hard. I doubt that I'll be able to start running right away after

not being able to exercise for almost a month now! So for now I'll

continue with walking and some light weight-lifting. I'll gradually

work my way back up to jogging and hopefully, running in a couple of

months!
