    You are young and will pop back but I know you are pissed cause I have the bad luck of getting hurt from exercise. I'm an old lady with lots of energy and I'm capable of doing quite a bit but I pay for it, and I'm out of commission for quite a while, limping, and hurting. I hurt for so long that what I did doesnt even matter. I'm told to ride station bikes, etc. and exercise for 10 minutes 3x week. cant do that but i will have to one day, and its not fair.

    Thanks for the support. It feels like a few weeks after surgery... Time will tell what that means.

    Day 5 - pain is a lot less and I have only stabbing pain about 4 times an hour now. Out of the gym for another day and I am starting to feel the motivation to be in the gym wane.
    I guess I'll have to push back my 1 April goal......

    I don't have a hernia but still understand what you're going through. I've been limited on what kind of exercise I can do for the past three months due to surgery. When I started working out again I did too much and had to stop for a while. Now I'm walking 20-30 minutes a few times a week. It's so frustrating when I want to do so much more. But I know I need to give my body time to heal. I wish you speedy healing.
