Exercise Today



Recommended Posts

I've been slacking on my exercise the past few days. I'm going to get back into it today with a 4 mile recumbant bike ride.

BTW Telly, you rock!

I'm very excited and I'm always planning my next home escape to the gym :rant:

Emilee, I know you can't wait and neither can I. Once you settle in, life will be great for you again. Anything I can help you with I will! ;)

Tricia, no...you rock girl!

:help:

When did you start exercising? I'm 8 days out and would like to start--but you know those nagging little residual surgery pains keep me from jumping in.

I wouldn't get in the pool for 6 Weeks. My Daughter was Banded a month ago. The doctor said she can now lift weight up to 25 pounds, then unlimited after 6 weeks.

i started a slow walk on the treadmill after 2 weeks. but i mean slow.

today:

- waked 20 mins 4mph, 5.5%

- ran 10 mins 5 mph 5.5%

- 300 crunches, situps etc

- 150 arm exercises 7 lbs and 10 lbs

- 350 leg lifts

then i bought a bike! it was so much fun. i went over to target with a friend and we both bought bikes and rode around the neighborhood. i can't believe how much more tiring bike riding is than when i was eight!

I know! I bought a bike at Walmart and was so excited to get on and ride, then, damn! It was so much harder than I remembered, why wasn't it like that when we were younger? I used to ride my bike across town every single day in the summer to my friends house then onto the outdoor pool.

I have only been able to get 4-6 miles on it now. Once we move and get settled that is one thing I am really going to start working on. Getting my endourance up and biking more.

I want a really nice street bike so I can ride to work in the summertime, but I think they're like $700-$800. OUCH! Maybe I'll have to settle for my bargain mountain bike.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
