TAH 1st workout 6weeks post op

I'm 6 weeks post TAH with right ovary removed also. I got a elliptical while I was laid up and this morning is the first time I could use it! I'm pretty proud of myself. I was able to do a mile in 11 mins. Not great, but hey, after 6 weeks of nothing I feel pretty good about it. If you would of told me I would feel this good 6 weeks post op in my 1st week of recovery I would of told you that you were crazy! Lol However, I feel amazing! I'm back to doing all my house work on my own, driving my 4 kids around to all their ball games and I haven't missed 1 game! the only thing that I haven't been able to do is wear "normal pants/jeans". Lol but since I'm a stay at home mom it's not that big of a deal. I can just wear my Adidas or Nike shorts and I'm good to go. Hang in there ladies. It will get better

Congratulations on a successful recovery! It really is a great feeling. You'll get into your jeans, give it time. Keep in mind that although you feel great, you are still healing so keep listening to your body. You may find that when that your stomach may swell when you've push your body too far. If that happens, just ease back a little and start back up a little later.

I wish you continued success.

Lots if ((HUGS)) to you

This is very inspiring. I am at almost three weeks and while I am slowly walking my housing loop, I am no where up to exercising. I dont have stamina for sporting events yet or for car rides.

Thanks for letting me know that I am almost there!

Good to hear! I can't wait to get back to my workouts once I get the okay.

Congratulations, that is awesome! I am in southern Ohio too. Who did your surgery, I'm dealing with prolapse issues after my lavh and I don't know who to go to.

I go to Dr Arnett in Portsmouth. I really like her. She also delivered my 3rd child by csection and when I went into early labor at 33 weeks with my 4th I had to be sent Ohio State medical center for a csection. While I was on the table they asked who did my previous csection because they had done such a great job and I had hardly any scar tissue from it. Lol So that was a pretty good compliment I thought.
