Same here! I've been doing this every week.

[@courtneytautges4997]

This feels so good 5 weeks postop. When I tried it at 2 weeks I was definitely afraid of movement, but your advice was so helpful to keep learning how to move again. Your video is so kind, it helped me when not many people knew what advice to give - week 5 I am finally starting to feel more human. Thank you again for this!

[@crystalrichardson7720]

I'm 5 weeks post op and feeling more like myself also

[@kendrakindgren9775]

3 1/2 weeks post op hysterectomy/salpingo-oophorectomy. I have felt so stiff and weak since but have been so afraid to move too much! Thank you for this❤ I just did it and it felt great😊

[@adavisatty]

LOVE this - thank you! I'm 11 days post laparascopic hysterectomy and oopherectomy. I was doing Tabata and HIIT kettlebell workouts (15-25 lb. weights) for the past few years and, needless to say, NOT moving is awful. Depressing. Yuck! I've done a ton of walking up to today but I definitely need more and this is an awesome start!!

[@HollyBynoe]

Thank you! I am 4 weeks post op and walking 10-15 km daily. This helps so much to build trust.

[@emmabedford7541]

Thank you so much for this workout. Currently 5.5 weeks post radical hysterectomy and felt emotional completing the workout for the first time 😊 feel good after this too

[@tammyhennessy5266]

Hi Jessica, I am 4 days post-surgery. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral Salpingectomy. This is my 4th major surgery and I am 54 yrs. (2 C-sections 2001 & 2003 and hernia surgery just last year). Your physiotherapy-based pilates for post surgery is just what I needed to get moving and build the foundation again. I am a karate practitioner for over 35 years and am looking forward to getting back to my training. Thank you for your expertise and sharing your personal experience and journey with us. It is inspirational!

[@robinreid577]

I am at week 4after full abdominal hysterectomy. I am so happy I found your videos. They are making me feel SO much better.

[@Honeythmpsn]

I’m 4 weeks post surgery. Been watching your videos about hysterectomy and practicing from your workouts for a few years before I had the adhesions from a previous myomectomy. I had to stop doing pilates for a while because my stomach would hurt. Now after a total hysterectomy I’m glad I can enjoy your workouts again. Thank you so so much, Jessica! 😊

[@jessicajoisten]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm three weeks post hysterectomy, and I started this video today. I will continue to use it, and I'm going to look up the 10 week program you mentioned. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this content.

[@milcar1963]

So glad I found this! I am 12 days post-op after total hysterectomy and needed to do SOMEY as I am en extremely active 60 yr old. Gym 3xwk, pickleball and several miles of walking each week. I’m afraid to do anything that engages my core but this seems very gentle and I just listen to my body for cues on understanding limits. Thank you!

[@tremekahayes7185]

3 weeks post op today Thank you so much!!

[@Kira-fd9pl]

Thank you! I just had my 7th abdominal surgery at 32, with a TAH. The first week was brutal, but i discovered your videos at day 8 post-op. Now, at day 11, I'm already noticing what a difference the movements have made with the muscle connections! I will be recommending you to everyone!

[@Melissa-rh2pp]

I am in second week recovery of full Laparoscopic, kept both ovaries. Over did things my first week. Doc told me to do nothing, but I feel that will make me weaker in the long run. Accidentally seen your other video for after 6 weeks first "didn't realize that though, on meds 😣", it hurt a bit, oops lol. Thank you for this one though! Will start this next week along with small walks 🤗

I am two weeks post op and cant wait to try this in another week. Thank you!

I had a hysterectomy and bladder surgery 3 years ago I never got told that I could experience a vaginal vault prolapse and now have one. Women need to be open about our needs.

[@EnochnKale]

How/why do you think the prolapse happened please? So I can try and learn. I’m sorry this happened to you.

[@maryharris8939]

@@EnochnKale lots of reasons one I'm 62 and I put on a stone due to stress which I've now lost it. My prolapse is mild but much worse than the one I experienced before my hysterectomy to be honest I wish I'd have never had the surgery it's one of my biggest regrets

[@EnochnKale]

I’m the same I regret the surgery too but I’ve learnt you can’t go back so now it’s about educating the girls in my family.

[@sexyvampy]

​@lots2do100 why do you regret it? In my case Im so happy I dont have those painful long periods cause of fibroids. Is a prolapse is bound to happen?

I’m 2 weeks post surgery and looking forward to using your videos in my recovery. Thank you

[@hannahjunealthea]

I am 10 days post op and have been really struggling to find the balance between rest and enough movement! I woke up this morning in a lot of lower back and hip pain from bed rest and these stretches really helped. I’m looking forward to doing more as I move through recovery. Your insight was so soothing and exactly what I needed to hear today, thank you.

[@lorindatoledo3711]

Thank you for your videos! So helpful! I purchased your 10-week post-hysterectomy exercise plan from your website and it has been an indispensable guide. I am so grateful!

[@brandymauldin6439]

Lorinda, is the 10 week guide similar to this workout?

[@nicoleforaie2513]

Same question as Brandy. Also, how many videos are included in the 10 week guide?

[@carolyningejohnson]

I needed this. Today makes 2 wks after robotic hysterectomy. I've been walking a lot but my groin area was hurting me bad so I saw videos and decided to give a try

[@coolminecraftkarla9803]

Thank you for your video 🙏😊 going into my 2nd week of having laparoscopy hysterectomy. I will start your exercises in a couple of weeks😊

[@berriesncarrots]

I've been nervous about doing "exercise" routines after my C-section. This was a great gentle starter to get me moving. Thank you!

[@michelleann7589]

7 days post op abdominal hysterectomy. Worst pain and experience of my life and i gave birth to 3 babies. Rest gets lots of rest and move at your own pace. Good luck ladies.

[@gowrinag]

5 weeks into surgery felt so good doing it, so afraid of moving

[@jo-y]

I'm in fourth week post Hysterectomy. This video help me alot, thank you.

[@Nilupulee]

I'm 3rd week post hysterectomy . Suffering constipation too.

[@carolbliss1510]

I am so glad I found you. I kept thinking I wasn't healing fast enough. Hearing you explain while doing movements was just what I needed.

[@user-qe6xt4yg2f]

Nearly 2months post surgery. These movements are so good. Thankyou.

[@margaretsomerville2510]

THANK YOU ! Your posts address the rationale and gentle progress over several weeks. Pelvic Floor PT is not so accessible, your youtube sessions have brought a much needed support to this once active 74 yo total laparoscopic hysterectomy 1 week post-op candidate. Anxious to get strong again and avoid prolapse. Such a relief to no longer have a bulge between my labia! Still exhausted after 10 min focused movement but do move, stand, and sit across the day. Your advice is valuable

[@michellemigami601]

hi jessica, can you do an episode on exercises to reduce belly fat for women who have had hysterectomy more than a year ago? as the void left in the belly area after hysterectomy allows organs to fill that void causing the belly area to get bigger or flabbier

[@Sofiahansen_3069]

Maybe look at diastasis recti exercises as the circumstances seem very similar? Bridging the gap in the abdominals - all the best I wish you good luck! Coach Kel is great too

[@bumblebea1773]

This was so gentle and purposeful. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us all

[@annneruthnakatumba8147]

I'm so grateful I found you. I deeply believed in slow building up transitional excercise towards the 10 week mark, but my family thought I am too fragile. Now iam convinced iam in the right docket. Thank you

[@preciouslove2love]

I'm 4 weeks post and it's been a journey... I heal a little slower than others so I've had some very painful days, but now I'm starting to feel better. I think getting moving may help but I'm leaning to take it slow. Blessings and healing to you all❤

[@jamenianoyb8292]

3 weeks post op my doctor would not allow me to do those hip movements but especially not that side stretch. My doctor said I was doing too much already trying to go work from home too soon 3days after surgery & back to the office 3rd week. 5 week post OP check up still gotta take it easy for the next few weeks. Going 6 weeks Post Op and began some hip, leg, and arm movements. Began having extreme lower back pain from not using tummy muscles. Will be looking to get back into back strengthening next week after the new year.

[@lil_rattz]

I'm so grateful to have discovered your channel. I did this workout in my jammies. Almost 4 weeks postop and really needed to feel like a human. Thank you for sharing.

[@cheyannecarico1300]

I had my hysterectomy at 15 years of age I was born with mrk syndrome it hasn’t been easy for me emotionally physically I grew belly fat over the years I’ve tried losing the belly fat for a long time

Dear Jessica, I’m 7 weeks post surgery and I haven’t felt this good in years. 🎉I had a prolapse and endometriosis, similar procedure to yours. The first 4 weeks after surgery were tough but now my recovery is gaining momentum. Your 10 weeks recovery program has been a great help. Thank you so much! ❤ Love from Germany 🇩🇪, Lauren

I didn't have a hysterectomy but i did have a bisalp. I want to get back into exercising slowly. I'm 5 weeks post surgery. Even if this is very low impact, i found it so tough to do. I wanted to go back to my regular routine at the gym in a week or 2, but i think i'll be doing videos like this for a while to build some strenght back up.

[@treefrog1018]

3 months post op. Thank you for this. I am feeling great but definitely jumped into too much activity the moment I felt ready to move a bunch at 6.5 weeks. I walked every day after surgery but didn't do any strength training during my 6.5 weeks. Bad idea. I have had to start at ground zero with my strength.

[@JessicaValantPilates]

Congrats on your healing so far and I hope you continue to feel stronger!

[@MiniJohney]

Thank you so much Jessica. You are so easy going. I am 12 weeks post Hysterectomy but didn't do any Pelvic floor exercises. All I did is walk. No wonder I feel very tight everywhere. My upper thighs are very tight & tense. I can't afford to go to physical therapist.May God bless you for helping us.

I’m three weeks post hysterectomy and am getting anxious about how my body has changed since I haven’t been able to workout or eat how I normally eat - I’m so happy to have found this workout. It both eased my panic and made me feel like I did something positive for my body. Going to check out the 10 week program 😊

[@kirstiethomsen4171]

Thank you so much for this. I have got extremely emotional after doing this as its the first time I have really moved my body post surgery (a part from the short walks). It is so incredible that you are sharing this information with women in need. Do you recommend gently lifting pelvic floor on exhale at this point?
