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. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
