i just recoverd from an open surgery on apendectomy, how long would i be able to do this?

Question

its been 2 weeks since the open surgery on my appendicitis, so, how much longer would i be able to do sit ups and push ups, coz my abs is really turning in to flabs, and i lost a lot of weight already...maybe because my muscle weight turned to fat weight already... i really need help, i dont want an odd shape body before September... coz that would be the day my crush would arrive, and ive been doing situps for 3months now... btw, the doctor said, no gym, b.ball, strenuous sports for 3 months.. :)


****another follow up question... could i still work on my arms and chest? :)

Answer 1

Oh dear...

My father had an emergency appendectomy some years ago. He was able to work again the next month- though keep in mind, I'm not sure if he really should have. He's one of those extremely stubborn people.

Listen to your doctor here. And ask him about gentle exercises that will keep you from going all the way to flab. Right now, don't worry about your 'body shape': Your health is far more important, and you can get the shape back the same way you got it in the first place.
