THANK YOU ALL!!!
Do you have a medical condition? 1kg weights sound like nothing? Way to small for an adult I suspect.
I would try push ups, sit ups, squats, walking round the block,
Don't really need equipment to exercise, at least not in the beginning, just move about.
Can't do a proper push up? Do it on your knees instead of toes. Still to hard? Do them against some stairs or a wall so your not horizontal and more on a 45 degree angle.

OP, your questions should really be aimed at your surgeon if you didn't get this information during your pre-op appointments!
Its important that you seek info from your medical staff.

Surgeon said "lift as much as possible"... lol And that was it... I'll have to make an appointment and ask him more...
In the meanwhile, and because his answer might come late, I'm doing everything possible to create healthy habits. The lose part, will come...

The hand weights I have are adjustable. Guessing the bar is 1 kg then it comes with like 1, 2, 5 kg weights or something like that. I think enought to make two 20 kg weights so 44 pound.
Bought from Kmart so it's not like a specialty fitness item or hard to find.
I would start lower weight so you can focus on technique so your not hurting or twisting something and add weight every week or two. What I hear is say you doing 3 sets of 10 reps, if you can't make it to 10 your lifting too much and if you can make it to 15+ your lifting to little.
Google a fitness plan there seems to be millions.

My hand weights are fix... Not adjustable at all... They are a bar and two "balls" forming a whole... I'm in Belgium so I'll have to see at a sports store...
And I'm going to google for a lifting plan for beginners!! That's a great idea, thank you.0 -
Ok... I just ordered a set of 10kgs... And this one is adjustable...0

One noob question: since I'm over my calories most of the days, and since I walk a lot, and I'm going to sport even more, should it be logical/reasonable/advised/healthy to up my cals to 1510 (it's what MFP gives me) since, anyway, my dietist put me in 1600cal/day?
Sorry for so many questions that might seem idiotic, but I've screwed it SO MANY TIMES, I want to do it right now and forever.0
