hi

I am quite frustrated at the moment.I am 2 weeks post op and every time I try and go for a walk I get a very serious pain in my abdominal area (left) and my back.I also get this when I stand for a while and when I get tired.

Is this normal?

Yes, it is very common. I was told to limit exercise for 6 weeks after surgery. My surgeon also said to do what I could, but listen to my body. Sounds like your body may need a little more time.

For me, the abdominal pain was nerves and muscle healing after the surgery. Take your time ... this is not a race, but a journey. You will be able to exercise very shortly. Right now, rest, sip, and follow your eating plan. (Easier said than done, I know!)

Please keep in mind...you have just had major surgery!!! The pain will go away. It just might not be time to walk or just walk a bit at a time at this point. At just two weeks post-op, you are not yet healed. If it continues, you will definitely want to contact your doc.

Yes, I still have occasional back pain and I am 3 months out. Just take your time and listen to your body. You are on your way!

Just stroll slowly, but on a very regular basis. Niiiice and easy. I got a little overzealous at that point and would forget myself and just getting in the car too quickly would cause a nice stab in the left side. The hernia repair made that worse too.

Find a Water aerobics class and join! It is not as stressful or as painful as going to the gym, but burns twice the calories! I did just water aerobics 3x a week for about 2 months after surgery, now I am up to 2 hours a day at the gym plus the water aerobics 3x a week!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
