First Post-Op Run

[OlsBean]

Had my Gallbladder out last Thursday (7 days ago), all appears to have gone well I spoke to the consultant and asked when he thought I could try running again, he said I could try after a week to see how it felt, which is what I've just done. I managed just over 5k (30 minutes of running) and then I finished off with some uphill speed walking :).

I'm going to try 5k again tomorrow all being well, I'm then going to push hard back to hour long runs next week!

Onward and Upwards!

Wow! That's amazing!

Jeez go steady. I had mine out and it does take a while to settle down so don't push yourself too hard too fast.

well done you...but don't push too much, any op can take a while to recover from mentally and physically, take care.

Thank you all, I would have responded earlier but I could not work out how to find this post again until today, just worked it out (although it seems long winded) Profile > Public Profile > My Posts :/

I'll be going out this evening after 6 weeks off due to abdominal surgery. My consultant said I'd be able to return to running after 5 days but I had a lot of complications and don't think he knew what he was talking about! Wishing you the best of luck, I can't wait for tonight!

Just be careful - I've had that op and it took longer than a week for the internal healing.

Thanks, seems like an age ago now, everything is fine, I guess I was fortunate no issues at all since and still regularly running as well as other stuff.
