Just had hernia surgery today. Its really starting to hurt pretty bad. I am depressed about having to take time off from working out. I feel like a lump of shit and every time I cough it fucking hurts. I am coughing because they intebated me during surgery. These pain pills are not doing a whole lot either. Just needed to vent, thanks....

Stop crying, at least they gave you pain pills!!!! When I had mine done about 17 years ago they might have done it with a butter knife and a knitting needle for all I know, hurt like hell for about two weeks. Laughing, coughing, sneezing ..oh man. Take it easy man, you'll be back in the gym before you know it, two or three weeks or so should be fine. Get well , be good.

I've just had gyno surgery and share your frustrations about not being able work out - it absolutely sucks!

I wish you a speedy recovery

I had a hernia surgery last year... My doctor told me not to lift anything over 20 lbs for 6 weeks, lol.. but I was squatting 300plus after 3 weeks... the doctors lean WAY toward the overly-cautious side when they tell you what you can/can't do. But my hernia was pretty small and didn't take much to heal... just listen to your body and you'll be back to new before you know it.

I had a full on inguenial (spelling?). Good luck with your recovery. I know you are anxious to get back to the gym, but play it safe.. you don't want to be going back for more surgery.

I haven't had the surgery, but my mom has.... You'll get a bit better every day and be in shape to do light workouts in as little as two weeks. The worst of it is over bro.
