What Exercise Did You Do Today?



Recommended Posts

Mowed the yard....yesterday weed eating...yard maintenance may kill me!!!!!

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 221.6

I feel your pain! But I have got to say it SO good to have the energy to do all of my yard work!! Mowing with a push mower, weeding and raking... I would have NEVER been able to do any of that last year!! It's tough work, but I am thankful for it! (burns some calories too!!)

Walked 45 minutes again...having chronic pain is keeping me from working out as hard as I'd like...but I'm glad I'm where I'm at...a year ago I was in so much pain I couldn't move.

So frustrated...had a nerve block yesterday in my hip and could walk about a mile today. I need to be gentle with myself and realize I can do what I can do each day. Oh well. Progress not perfection.

Today I walked to the store and backs. I just got the approval to exercise again after months of not being able to exercise, because of injuries. So I thought I would start slow and work me back to an hour and a half to an hour and forty five minutes. I'm preop, and never liked to exercise and its a new coping skill that I've added on to my list

I'm post op 10 days and able to walk about 2 miles but that is all I can do. How long does it usually take to be able to get back to normal. Before surgery I could jog/walk 4 miles.

60 min on the elliptical

I love the elliptical, I also do it for 60 minutes, and people who I know that exercise and are in shape don't see how could do an hour and that they can't even do it for an hour. I've finally got the all clear to go back to exercising which has been for almost 4 months or so I would get hurt, and the first injury it wouldn't heal and they thought I needed surgery, finally got that healed then my bulging disc acted up went back to pt, then I severely sprained ankle, and just today I had my last pt appointment knock on wood (knock knock)

:) I bought a commercial machine and I do the fat burner one for 30 minutes and then repeat. (for some reason that program will only let you do 30 minutes max. I don't know why so you have to do it twice) Tonight was my first night to get back up to 60 minutes since surgery. I've been at 30 and 45 forever! I had an ACL reconstruction in 05 and this is the only high cardio I can do comfortably. :)

      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.
