When is It Ok to Walk on a Treadmill After TT?

Marianne in IL
I just had my two week follow up appt. I asked if I could walk on a treadmill, the Dr seemed annoyed with that question.....thinking I'm trying too hard too fast to get back in shape. He said absolutely NOT! A week ago he said it would be ok to walk around the block....why is one ok and not the other? Prior to this surgery I exercised 5days a week....I am getting tired of sitting/laying around....and I feel my energy will improve with exercise.
