I have always wanted to do yoga, but when I have, I was pretty limited by my size. I'm very excited to make this my first post-op workout routine. I'd start gently, but how soon after surgery did everyone start exercising beyond just walking?

Right after surgery I was only allowed to walk. After my 2-3 week follow up appointment, I was allowed to do everything but core exercises. Now a 6 weeks I can do anything and today was my first day back at Bootcamp and it felt SO good!!

Since yoga is heavy on core, I'd probably wait 6 weeks to start that routine.

Hi there, sorry for the later reply, but can you tell me your impression of yoga. My friend cannot imagine her life without yoga. You know recently was her birthday and I didn't know what present to prepare for her. My husband came with the idea to buy something for yoga hehe. So I googled and found a site about the best yoga blocks and why we should use them. I was really impressed by the information that I read and about the benefits of yoga. So I ordered blocks not only for my friend but for me too. What is your opinion on this?

Hello! If you have achieved a lot of flexibility, then yoga poses 4 person are perfect for you! Acro yoga not only improves your physical abilities, but also develops important teamwork skills as you develop strength and balance. These are exciting and varied workouts that can bring a whole new level of enjoyment to your yoga practice. I personally practice this type of yoga and am very happy with the results.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
