I usually walk about 15,000 steps daily
You will be encouraged to walk at least around your home right after surgery. You will gradually be able to increase your activity level as you heal based on how you progress through recovery, but you can expect it to be several weeks before you will be able to walk 15000 steps. Speak with your surgeon about activity level restrictions.
Thank you for question, I would ask your PS directly about his or her course of recovery as every surgeon has a different protocol. With that said, you will be able to get up and walk around the first day after a tummy tuck, though you will not be doing 15,000 steps.Most patients should be able to return to work 5-7 days after the surgery, and resume most activities after 5-7 weeks. After a tummy tuck procedure, it is important for a patient to maintain a healthy lifestyle to ensure optimal results, however, jumping back into a rigorous workout regimen too quickly after a tummy tuck surgery can make recovery more difficult and longer. It is important to start slowly and listen to your body. Patients may typically start to resume light exercise two weeks after the surgery, but heavy lifting of weight more than 15 lb, sit-ups, and crunches should not resume until 8 weeks after the surgery.Good luck!
