Gall Bladder removal

gloriasbaby Posts: 7 Joined: 2003/04/20	2003/08/08, 05:04 AM I just had my Gall Bladder removed, and am not allowed to do any heavy lifting for 3 weeks, once this is up, I am sure I will be extremely weak, whats a way to exercise lightly now without hurting myself, or breaking the doctors rule of no heavy lifting/extreme physical activity?

A simple wrist fracture for me has taken almost 8 months to heal, and it still hurts too much to lift. I doubt the loss in strength will be much, you may be bit tired and sore the first day back, but that’s it. It’s important that you wait until you know its safe to lift again. The minimal loss in strength is a small price to pay for preventing a very severe injury you may have to live with for months. ------- BoRPiLLiCuS
