I am going in October to meet with the transplant team at UCSF and I'm just curious, how soon after transplant were you able to actually excersize, like really excersize? Riding a bike, running, doing the fun playful normal stuff "normal people" do? Thats what I'm most excited about!!

I'm sure that there is a timeframe that docs want you to wait (I don't remember what it was) to do the really heavy exercising but there was a gym at the hotel that I stayed at after my transplant and they wanted me to go there almost immediately and at least walk on the treadmill. I didn't though, I just walked around the hotel.

I can say that my first really big exercise was just a walk, but it was a huge one after I got home (about 8 weeks after the transplant). I walked over a mile to the park, played with my son at the park, and then walked over a mile back home. Yeah, I was sore after I did that but it felt great!

I am now 2.5 post transplant and there are a lot of things that I have done, including run, walk, Wii Fit, and chase after my 3.5 year old son and the baby that I watch occasionally...stuff that I would have never been able to do before.

You exercising routine will most likely be dertmined by what the docs tell you that you are limited to and what you can tolerate post transplant.

For me I started riding a stationary bike within two weeks of transplant because that is when I started pulmonary rehab. Within another week or two I was riding a bike at home out on the streets.

There is an 8 week 10 lb restriction at my center so I went about 2 months without lifting anything over 10 lbs. Beyond that I didn't have many limitations placed on what I could do ... just to stay comfortable and not do anything that was painful.

I guess that I should add that I never went to pulmonary rehab...I just had to be careful with what I was doing. I don't know why I never did pulmonary rehab, my docs never told me to go. Every person who I know who has had lung transplant has been through pulmonary rehab, except me.
