need help

[jariann 0]

I had lap band 2 yrs ago things wer going good and then i was in a serious car accident a few months after and was hurt very badly i put my lap band on the back burner. I have 2 bulging discs and now getting ready for surgery in may I finally went in for a fill 2 weeks ago because i was gaining weight, I cannot do any physical activity and will not be able to for a while, my father just passed away, and my mother was diagnosis with a anroysum, so i went into a deep depression so I know why I gained weight but I'm ready to get back on track, any suggestions on what I can do to help with the weight loss when I can't be physically active?

Just eat lap band portions and do what you can for exercise.

I would count your calories and measure your portions so you can still lose despite being unable to exercise currently.

I'm actually dealing with torn cartilage in my left knee and as a result can't do much in the way of exercise right now either. But, because I track my calories religious and always measure my portions, I'm still losing despite my inactivity.

Best wishes.

I agree with Chez & Missy. I too, am waiting for both knee's to be replaced and I have not started exercising and still able to take weight off.

You can do this!

Honestly, I lost most of my weight without any major exercise. I was almost to my initial goal when I finally added the gym to tone up after I lost so much weight. You can certainly still lose weight with calorie restriction alone, it may be slower if you are completely immobile so try to move as much as allowable.

Have you tried aqua fit? It's very low impact and I know many people with issues are able to participate , they can usually modify it to suit your needs

Sorry to hear that. If at all possible see your nutritionist. Protein, protein, and more protein.

I had back surgery two months ago due to two trapped nerves one near fibula one l-5. Also had herniated disc l-5. And right sided footdrop. I started back on treadmill ten days later slow and worked my way up to two miles. I was told to walk, walk, walk. I have needed a total knee replacement for abt a year now (I have two partial knee replacements) right is doing well left is bent and hardly any range of motion. I still walk 4-5 days a week. Treadmill three and weather permitting outside the other days. I'm hurting but I still go. My doc said you have to watch what you eat, exercise and the band will do the rest and he was right. Down 110 pounds and met goal in eight months.
