fitness / strength work after hiatus hernia op

That core strength of a child will be around for a few months.
I am about 4 months out from my HH and Nissen surgery and a few weeks ago started walking every day. Then a week later I added in arm exercises and yoga (mildly and gently with 5lb or less weights)
Then a week later I started jogging for a minute at a time.

Now I am feeling stronger than before my surgery. I have not added any abdominal work yet, but I think I get some of that with all the dancing around I do and keeping my core straight when doing my arm and shoulder work and doing some of the yoga poses. I have not done any crunches yet, but I did try planking.

The key here is wait a few months to let your organs heal and attach to eachother again while doing light stretches and twists and walking and then just very slowly add more things in as you feel comfortable.

Prior to my surgery I was not a powerlifter, but I enjoyed Yoga and running and hula hooping and was pretty active, I dont expect to be a powerlifter after surgery, and I try not to lift anything to put myself in a position to re-herniate myself, if you know what I mean.

My surgeon told me that I should be able to do all of the things I was able to do before the surgery no problem.
