e.g. Skiing, Mountain biking, Dirt Biking, Climbing....
and what are your future plans to do them?
I will settle for gentle hikes for I am too afraid to push it too far.

Well, I guess I would also like to be able to ride a bicycle with my girls. 
My surgeon said I'd be able to do all the sports and activities I have enjoyed up until now - social tennis, walking/hikes, cycling, yoga, Pilates, gardening - although he did say if I wanted to take up parachute jumping we may need to have a conversation 
A neighbour (probablyin his early 40s - I'm 48yr old female) is having both hips replaced this autumn/winter and he's planning on being able to ski at the end of the European season in March (he works on the ski industry).
Hi..
I was a keen sportsman..serious squash player til age 45 when post match hip pain became too much..
Then took up MTBing which never troubled me til age 60,when I had to stop..
Then took up walking 6-12 mls twice a week..
Eventually became unable to even walk 2mls which forced me into my THR aged 64.
Now need the other hip doing..
I would say if your youngish and have some basic fitness already,then nowt wrong with any of the sports you mention..apart from MTBing,which in the event of a bad fall could prove disastrous..You would probably be ok and green lanes and cycle ways though..A mate of mine who's only 55 is able to ski and cycle only 6mnths after his BLTHP.
When I get my other hip done early next year I fully intend getting back on the bike..it's really frustrating not being able to do the things you could do only a few years before.
Hope you get back to full fitness.
Hi Im on week 9 of my THR and just come home from Center Parc holiday with my children and grandchildren ,I have rode a bike all week felt great much better by the end of the week able to go up the hills much easier 
i live n the french alps and here the surgeon said i would be able to ski this season I am 64 lady, I have friends here that ski climb and mountain hike all with hip replacements. Hope he is right
Not me! Just trying to prevent going under the knife a second time...stick to swimming and walking/hiking and watch tv
Hope you won't fall...on your implant. Good luck
Can't say I blame you either...TBH even though I really want to get back on the bike again,I would ask myself is it really worth the risk..
Revision surgery in the event of a fall which I could have avoided would be a disaster to me..
Were all so very careful early post op,so why take the risk 6mnths later.Hmmm.
Would it not stand to reason that one could go back to the very activities one is already conditioned to do? Barring all complications, a hip joing replacement is supposed to take the place of the orginal hip. Would it not have the same use as the natural hip only better with no pain?
The Doc told me basically easy/intermediate level (with skill) is fine for most sports exceppt contact sports but that is what he's supposed to say and will leave the rest up to me as I seemed to understand the risks (dislocation/fracture/loosening).
I spent the year before surgery trying to get better at the sports I do but also trying to assess whether I could do them safer (smoother/slower). I don't do any of them at a level that most people would consider easy/intermediate.
I can to the conclusion that :
#1- I need to be fit all the time and continue do leg, hip and knee exercises and strectching (which I suck at) until the day I die, if I want to get away with any resemblance of my old life.
#2- the bone has to heal before I put it to the true tests. So while I'll do some things prior to 1 year they'll not be really tough level. The problem is that once you start doing that activity is pulling back so we'll see if I can stick with this one.
#3 Doc/I aren't worried about dislocation (without huge reason) so fracture is the other accident- this means consciously not trying to get "better" at expert level features of my sports anymore and just looking for the steadystate.
#4 Thinking/Hoping that I can get 15 yrs on this hip while still doing my activities and then deal with what comes at me, and the potentially reduced activity, when I'm 67. Somewhere in there is the hope that revisions will be easier/better by then.
As my Doc said, only I can figure out my quality of life. I don't intend to be stupid but I also am not the hang around the house on the weekend type. Doing enough of that right now to know I feel like I'm just clicking time away versus living it BUT that is become I'm currently programmed to be outdoors and active. So maybe somewhere along the line I'll change. I'd be ending up with a whole new life and set of friends/acquaintances though.
Hi - a little over four weeks post-op on my total right hip replacement. I was a runner for over 30 years, so running is probably out of the question. But I am hoping to be able to play tennis, ski, and cycle eventually. I was a long distance touring cyclist, having cycled across the U.S., Europe, and parts of Africa and Asia. Was contemplating a ride around the perimeter of the U.S. as a fundraiser for Save the Children and Habitat For Humanity. So I'm waiting to see if this will at all be possible. I will be heartily disappointed if I can't return to these activties. When you have led an active lifestyle, it is so hard to just not be active!
That's some cycling achievements Alan..brilliant.
I know exactly how you feel,I've always been a keen cyclist,now reduced to walking,but TBH I'm pleased I can do even that..
Some folks are happy to sit and watch TV for 12wks,not me.
Being a lover of the outdoors,those first six weeks back in Feb after my
THR were mentally the worst of my life,it was like a prison sentence ha.
Thank you for the kind words, Paulus. I would say don't give up on the cycling. But then, everyone knows best what they feel comfortable with. Yes, this first month has been a real downer, and I agree - one of the worst months ever for me. Good luck as you continue to heal!
Thanks Alan.
Now 6mnths post op and those 6-12 weeks seem like a distant memory,the brain has a tremendous capacity for forgetting bad experiences thankfully ha.
I did try my turbo trainer after 12 wks but could hardly turn the cranks even on the easiest setting..
It put me off tbh..
With your level of basic fitness,sure you'll have no trouble getting back in the saddle.
You have inspired me! Thank you!

Four months post op for second hip. Hated. Being out of action. This week planning to rent tennis machine and see how ii fare. I don't want to commit too much by joining my old group. I do love my tennis.
Good for you, baby steps first so you don't blow all the good work to date! Watch the foot plant/twists, I'm guessing that's not a great move for until the bone is 100%. Having said that, my Doc said that most of the bone regrowth occurs in the first 6 wks. Maybe I got that wrong as it seems amazing. Does anybody else know this stat?
I am 8 and 1/2 weeks, stepper,cross trainer, treadmill walk bike in gym, 2-4 mile walks and a little running. Intend to play cricket next season if the other hip holds out.
