Yes that would be just like a leg press! Just be careful to not have that band slip off your feet and come back and smack you in the face! Iv actually seen that happen a few times. -

Green is Medium to Heavy Resistance. If I remember right it goes Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Black. Where Yellow is lowest resistance and Black is highest resistance. Stretch Bands can be used well for exercise! I can’t lift any weights right now, but Iv been using my stretch bands for just my arms while I’m sitting in a chair! -

Oh and Iv been trying to get my daily water intake accomplished. It’s not easy, but I’ve been getting about 64oz of water in a day. Plus getting in around 100g of protein in a day too! -

Sorry Everyone!!! I haven’t been on to give updates! I honestly haven’t even been on my phone for days... I’m home now! That damn gas has seemed to all leave my body now! I’m on liquids and soups and protein shakes for another two weeks. Then I go back and see my doctor again to hopefully move to the next stage. Iv got some soreness in my stomach but that’s now surprise. Iv been trying to get some walking in but it decided to snow here in Nebraska so that put a damper on my walking...except for my Aunt and Uncle took me to the mall for early morning senior walk...so that was nice, to be indoors. Let’s see what else...I stayed two nights in the hospital. I didn’t want to, but that damn gas had me messed up for pain. It’s crazy how it does that! But once it’s gone it is like a switch and boom the pain is gone! -

Getting the fluids down is harder than I thought it would be. But you have to just keep telling your self that your body needs them! Plus need to get the protein intake going too! -

Every time I fell asleep, it seemed like a nurse was in messing with me! I just walked in the door of my house and I’m going straight to my own bed! -

It’s crazy that so many people have to wait till the day before to find out what time they have surgery. That kind of makes it more stressful you’d think. Iv stayed in the hospital a few time for surgerys. It’s not fun that for sure! But it goes quick and your home sooner than you think. Good luck tomorrow! Hopefully you find out soon what time you go in. -
