When is a good time to go back working out?
After surgery start walking. Little by little increase your distance. You'll know when you feel good enough for something more than walking. I was approved to do anything exercise wise at 2 weeks. Good luck!
Thank you ... i been doing real good all my incision has closed up nicely.
is there something i am looking for that tells me ok u went to far on the working out?
My surgeon gave me a complete "cleared for all activity" at 6 weeks (including strength training). Up till that I walked and jogged as pain allowed.

I was cleared for full activity around 6 weeks, but honestly, I didn't have the energy at ALL! I did short walks, but didn't even make it into the gym until about 5 or 6 months post op. My energy is back and better than ever, so now I try and go to the gym 5 to 6 days a week or get some kind of exercise every day.
