I was told by my surgeon that I'm not allowed to lift anything over 15 pounds for 3 months. Would that include sit ups? I'm assuming it would but I wanted to get everyone else's thoughts.

Thanks in advance for all your input

Hmm, that's a good question. I was told no lifting over 10lbs but also told that after week 2, no exercise was off limits. I'm all ears on this too!
 
Hi Lovalee- I was told 15 lbs for a few weeks, until the stitches were healed. I was glad not to lift a thing. My doctor did allow me to return to my joint conditioning class at the Y after 2 weeks. That is light stretching, arm, shoulder, and leg movement.
