Hi Everyone,

Today I was doing yoga with my students at work and I had a pain in my left side of my stomach every time I stretch. I had the same pain when I was trying yoga on Wednesday with them.

I'm 3 weeks post surgery. is it too early to be stretching my stuff? Is that supposed to happen?

Yes it is too early. You need to give all the stitches time to heal fully. Check with your Dr what exercise is/isn't appropriate at this stage.

yeah, i think yoga and high impact aerobics are too much at 3 weeks post op. my doctor says walking is good for the first 4 weeks. then after that, add more exercise in depending on how you feel. everyone heals differently, but i think yoga might be a bit much for now. i waited 2 months before i started doing yoga again.

My doctor wouldn't let me do any exercise other than walking until six weeks after surgery.
