Exercise after RP

Any suggestions now that I'm a month post RP?

I'm assuming I'm not allowed to do the usual abs type exercises (eg. sit-ups). Are there any youtube videos that may be helpful?

Walking a mile or two a day seemed to greatly speed up my recovery from surgery..And yes, you can forget the sit-ups, crunches, weight lifting for at least a year..Your surgeon will set the ground rules...

I am active military so exercise is a big part. I waited 8 weeks before attempting running. The surgery and time off took it's toll I was very slow. Abs I started at 8 weeks and surprisingly zero issues. Core seems strong. I have to remember I had major surgery. We can tend to forget that because we can feel pretty normal at 6 weeks out but we are by no means the same as pre op levels. I still walk a lot but with a pack on. Take it slow brother.

I think it's just so different for everyone. My doc asked me to wait at least 4 weeks before I skied (I'm an instructor), and to go by feel. I was doing very light weight work in the gym by 3 weeks, skiing by 4 weeks, training hard by 8 weeks (including core work), and I finally felt fairly normal at about 11 weeks. I went into the surgery with almost 30 years of very consistent training and competing - triathlons, road racing, trail ultra marathons, skiing, powerlifting and CrossFit.

At 6 months, my power lifts are still lagging a bit, but I'm back to per-surgery fitness, but not quite back to pre-surgery weight.
