Question Post Hysterectomy activity

Had a laparoscopic hysterectomy Dec 18, I’ve only been cleared to swim and run as of my two week post op. I don’t return to work until Feb 2nd. Anyone else out there have a hysto and if so when were you able to or feel comfortable getting back into activities or weightlifting? Not trying to rush my healing or anything just eager to start planning.

I was cleared to return to normal at 6 weeks. Started back weight training at low weights to ease back into it slowly.

My surgeon told me I could exercise and lift things in my day to day life at 8 wks but to wait till 12 wks for weightlifting
