Do you mean for your pre op? You tend to have to do what your team say. But I did do two weeks of Cambridge type first. But it's an option at my hospital

One day. I still don't feel like its real lol

What ever you do be very careful - I was feeling great at 2 1/2 weeks so was up to walking a mile a day, pottering round the garden and...ooops main wound popped open, now having to sit about with nothing else to focus on that the thrush my antibiotics have given, as the wound then became infected. Never had thrush before - ohhh those poor people who have, will never mock again!
I can't wait to get back to my weekly PT sessions, but have to just be very patient now - wish I had been in the first place. !

I will learn from your experience

I hate thrush! Antibiotics give me thrush too. And if not thrush a bowel infection which can only be sorted with probiotics. Plus I am allergic to penicillin.

Really hope you get better soon xxx

Well ladies I exercised right upto the op and then of course did lots of walking for he first 4 months then bout February time went back to the gym and using my pilates ball to exercise with. OP was in August last year. So everything was healed try and keep moving around no matter where I am all exercise helps even if its just fidgeting around. M y surgeon did tell me though after the op when you get back into the land of the living to keep taking long deep breaths apparently helps the healing process and the wind pain. Good luck Fuffs nearly here now so pleased for you. xx

Well im an odd one as i went back swimming at 3 1/2wks post op with waterproof dressings on, very slow to start then hit the gym at 4 weeks post op only on treadmill !!
BUT i was pretty fit pre op doing 1 hr in gym and swimming 110 lengths 3 times a week so listen to your body hun and it will tell you if your ready, if you are not fit pre op take it VERY slowly xxxx
