Hi all,
Well I'm 11 days post op. biked 9 miles yesterday, 15 min x 3 mi morning
15 min x 3 mi mid day and 15 min x 3 mi evening, stationary bike mild resistance, plus my walking. Today just 3 mi bike but alot of walking.
Anyway One thing I wanted to add to the pre op site is, if you are a month out from surgery and are young enough to do ab work, do it. You won't regret it when it comes to getting out of bed, the chair...etc. Let the ab's do the work and you will not feel the need to try and pull or push your self up out of bed or the couch. It has been working for me, it may work for you.
