Back to training post major abdominal surgery

nellie

Help!! I have just been told I can start swimming and cycling on the flat in an easy gear 8 weeks after major abdominal surgery. I cannot start running, weights, core work for another 4 weeks, and then I have to start gently. Did 750m swim and had the shakes! Did a session on the gym bike and managed 37 minutes, only at level 6, and a 15 minute walk at 6.7k/hr on inclines up to 10%. Cannot believe how hard it is. My body balance in the water has altered and my freestlye technique has dissapeared! Has anyone else been through this, or can anyone give me any tips to stop me getting totally demoralised!!!!!
