azarellanos 8 Posted August 4, 2010 Today was the first day I really exercised since surgery and I was to do 30 min on the eliptical. It was just slow and steady but a start none the less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlp1968 83 Posted August 4, 2010 It was a great great start! You have taken a huge step. Excersise will increase your speed of weighloss and ensure your gaining muscle not loosing it. Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Froggie D 1 Posted August 4, 2010 Great work. You should be so proud of yourself! Every little bit helps and the next time will be easier. You will soon be able to add to it and increase your exercise. Once you get going, it feels pretty good and you feel so proud and in control. Keep up the great work!

muddieguryl 0 Posted August 5, 2010 I can't wait to start a regiment of exercise. My band was installed on 7/21 and I was told no exercise for 6 weeks. I have been doing dancing from Just Dance, the Wii game but nothing hard core. Doc will be pissed if I bust my stitches which should all be just about absorbed by now.

azarellanos 8 Posted August 6, 2010 I go so slow I'm not really tired when I'm done. It's just to get into a routine. Now shoveling out the horse stall last weekend may be another story:) I only took a small amount on the shovel, tried to stay under 15lbs (my limit for 3 weeks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlottaBS 0 Posted August 7, 2010 Congrats! Just had a big NSV.. My Hemoglobin A1C for my diabetes went from 7.3 in Feb down to 5.9 which is in the normal range. My doc lowered my diabetes meds from 2000 mg to 500 mg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
