Gym advise please??

So I’m post op day 4 and I really miss the gym already as I do a bit of weight training 4 times a week…and now I feel low because I carnt go, I understand my body needs to heal, how long did people rest for??, can I not even walk on a treadmill mill? Xx

I was advised not to do anything for 6 weeks. I am 5 weeks post op and feel ok but still waiting for my 6 week check up to get the all clear. Weight training would be worst Hun xxx

Oh no I wouldn’t dream of picking up weights yet, just wanted to no when I could do light cardio, but I’m guessing it will be 6 weeks like you say:) thank you:) xxx

At my 8 day check up as all was absolutely fine the nurse told me I was fine to go on the treadmill….but do text or ring your own nurse firdt to make sure as everyone is different.xxxx

I don’t think I will be able to wait 6 weeks I’ve asked them at the gym to put me a plan together of lower body stuff like legs and bum for after about 4 weeks just won’t do anything upper for 6 x

Thankyou ladies, I’ve got my check on Wednesday so fingers crossed I’m hoping I’m healing well. My nurse did say I could do static exercises like squats and lunges but forgot when she said I could start so I’ll ask her. Xx
