2wks post op
I am 2 weeks post op, Patrrtial abdominal hysterectomy kept ovaries removed cervix. Taking it day by day, incision is healing nicely no major set backs. The swelly belly is a bit annoying though. So far lost 10 lbs hoping to lose more. Wondering when I can do light excercise. Not rushing to get bak to work. Has anyone worn a girdle?

You can start walking any time. I did lots of little walks interspersed with lying around. Gradually increase your walking and by 6 weeks you should get the all clear to start doing other things.

Re: 2wks post op
Don't walk too far. Do a few short walks over the day, rather than one long one. Rest the rest of the time. Gradually increase the length of your walks, but try not to feel as though you have overdone it. Two weeks is still early days.
