Returning to exercise after lipo. What can I do at 2 1/2 weeks post-op?

Asked By:NotSeekingPerfection in Amelia Court House, VA

I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op from a breast lift and liposuction on thighs. I've been walking two miles in the morning and two miles in the evening, but I would really like to do more. My surgeon is very vague about this issue. Can I start doing body weight squats yet? Chair sits? Lunges? She said I can do an elliptical but said not to get my heart rate up, which seems impossible. I'm feeling sluggish and fluffy after 2 1/2 weeks with walking as my sole means of exercise.
