Need that push

Thank you for your story. I have gained 30lb after a lot of weight loss due to UC/Crohns, Reversal to stoma ileostomy surgery- have been pulling in my stomach muscles.
Neck and back seem to have to be very careful due to all the steroids used for UC and loss of bone and muscle.
Any exercises you can suggest would be great. I have had abscess for three years non stop along with fistulas and setons.
I am 62-63. I use to be a mountain biker, (could not sit for 3 years due to abscesses) swimmer etc. Help if you can
Thank you

Hello I am 66 yrs old, I have a colostomy as bowel burst from Diverticulitis’s and now have several hernias, I am wondering if it is okay to do stomache excercises or would I be doing more damage, I don’t have pain from them so far. Thanks
