Week 4 today. So I feel great, walking a lot, get my Protein and Water in and can start ground turkey and chicken this week. Everything has been going great until I started having severe pain in right calf. Leg swollen - checked for blood clots - negative. Went to Orthopedist yesterday have to have MRI could be hair line fracture due to going from little exercise to full blown exercise. He said bones not getting enough recovery time. Soooooo NO EXERCISE at all. What am I going to do? This stinks!

Sorry to hear about this but follow your doctor's orders. Give your body the rebound and rest time it needs. Then when you are cleared to work out, ease back in slowly. It sucks but you don't what to risk further damage and injury because of impatience.

@@usedtobeaskater - do what the doctor says to do. What were you doing to possibly develop a hair line fracture?

At least it wasn't a clot, and there are exercises that can be done while sitting.

I agree. Take care of yourself and follow your doctor's orders.

Ask about Water exercise. You might be able to do more exercise in the Water earlier than other exercises and it's great for the joints.

How about using a stationary bike. I have been having problems with my feet so I changes to that

Stress fractures are pretty common, even with competitive runners. One rule of thumb is to increase mileage no more than 10% per week.

Don't forget the power of swimming! Low impact and good for your breath holding exercises.

Whatever you do, take the full time to recover. I did something minor that gave me a stress fracture in my foot. This was a year or so ago and I haven't even had surgery yet, so totally unrelated. Anywho ... I didn't wear my boot long enough and still deal with the pain of it. It's so not worth it in the long run to push it. Hope you get some relief soon!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
