Exercise mishap



Recommended Posts

Im 9 days postop and trying to be a good patoent. So last night I'm walking my dog, walking, walking and bam! I'm on the sidewalk. I look down And managed to find the booby trap. A hole in the sidewalk perfectly hidden by grass. So I ended up with a twisted ankle, busted knee, and a laughing pizza delivery boy who happened to drive by. Ha! That must of been a sight. Had to limp my a$$ half mile home. Maybe today will be better. :)

@Jill, I am so sorry you fell but I have to be honest, this is just the comic relief that I needed. I hope you don't have any serious injuries and that all soreness will be gone soon.

Take care,

Niki

That's never good!.

I fell off my horse yesterday! I'm a little sore but the way I fell (in slow motion,lol) I didn't hurt anything and when I did land it was just enough to pop some lower back bones that have needed it so bad so so long. I actually feel better today walking in to work. I really think I should go get re-aligned now. I bet it would feel really good then.

I hope you didn't hurt yourself to bad.

Jill, I hate it when your just walking along and then BAM! you end up on the ground! I am so glad you are okay and did not seriously injure yourself. Thank goodness you still have pain meds huh?

Julie, I almost fell off my horse on Monday. He has recently recovered from an eye injury on his left side and he did not see our cows under the trees until we were almost beside them so he spooked and tried to duck out from underneath me. I stayed on but my poor husband about had heart failure thinking NO..NO..not her stomach! I ride English and he rides Western so he always thinks I am going to fall off since I do not have a saddle horn. Ha! showed him...lol

That is scary. That was the first thing my boyfriend said too. I just got up and got back on. I wish I had an excuse besides not riding her for a while made her kind of barn sour. She was ready to go home. I rode yesterday and she did great though. I find it's the best relaxation for me. You should see my horse, my dog and I just out riding. I also have to say it the sleeve has changed everything for me. It is so much easier to get on my horse and ride. I am so please.

Glad you didn't fall off.

Julie - Sounds like you have found a new way to do a chiropratic adjustment! :lol:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
