I had an inguinal hernia surgery 4 weeks ago and I'm debating on going to the gym today for a light work out to see how it goes. Doctor said no physical activity etc for 6 weeks although I feel completely fine right now and no pain. Any thoughts on the matter?

go for some heavy deadlifts

nah srs wait it out and start light

The wait game is the worst. Disgusted with myself for how much weight/size I'm losing

Stay at home and do some towel rows.

Maybe, idk, listen to your doc.

pain is not an indicator of tissue integrity. do as your doctor says

this and eat lots of protein :]

Better than giving yourself another hernia, having no pain doesn't mean you've fully recovered like cloud said

Eat at maintenance ...?

you feel good? than do it, your doctor clearly dont know shit.
