I am just one week post-op from a hysterectomy. I am unable to do much more than walking as far as working out goes. However, when I was the most successful at exercising it was when I worked out first thing in the morning. I would get up before anyone else in the house to be able to get it complete. I found that waiting any later in the day resulted in countless interuptions. I am married and have five kids; someone is always needing something.
