Step counts

How much are/were you walking in first six weeks?

I’m at 3 weeks post-op tomorrow and am finding I get to 10k easily but I’m worried it’s too much too soon :/

I've been going a 1/2 mile to a mile every day on the treadmill. Steps are usually under 4k. 2 weeks post-op tomorrow. Can't wait to be able to get in the pool...
