2 week post hysterectomy check-up: what activities were "cleared" if any?
Being a TLH patient 6 days post op, I am wondering about my 2 week check up next week. I want to ask if I might able to start lifting some light weights (nothing more than 10lbs). Yeah, maybe I am crazy, but I have read that some sisters were cleared for this at 2 weeks.
For those of you who had 2 week check ups, can you tell me what your doc cleared you to do - assuming you were healing well? (I can already drive since I am TLH, so I am not worried about that so much.. I'd just like to lift a small amount of weight, and my doc doesn't even want me lifting my purse right now... she's pretty conservative on the lifting, after seeing several torn cuffs in her day).
Thanks in advance for sharing!

Re: 2 week check-up: what activities were "cleared" if any?
My doctor cleared me for everything at two weeks just as long as I didn't over do it. I'm at the six week mark now and I started back to the gym last week just doing the machines. Going to start weights next week. I've been doing light lifting nothing really heavy. I was carrying grocery bags with milk and water and at first that bothered me but it's better now.

I asked my doc about riding my bike and she said not till 6 weeks. I didn't ask about rowing because I knew that would be a no. She told me it would be okay to get a massage as soon as I was comfortable lying on my stomach.
