What Exercise Did You Do Today?



Recommended Posts

well so far my exercise today has been keeping up with a group of 19 pre k kids in my computer lab... bouncing from one laptop to another to keep them on the website they are working on :)

I forgot to post yesterday - but I did 30 minutes on ARC Trainer and 15 minutes stationary bike + 30 minutes weights and a finished it all off in the steam room to help prevent soreness.

Today was my first day of Couch25K. It was only a 31 minute workout - but I did 2 miles and hopefully by January 1 I will be 5K ready! I usually spend New Year's Eve trying to see how much Prosecco I can drink. Since that is a definite NO this year - I may as well replace that behavior with it being a pre-race night. There is usually at least 1 5K going on around here on New Year's Day.

Haven't had much exercise, because I have sever back pain. That's gotten worse since surgery. Hoping that starting pt and chiropractor will help. Keeping a positive attitude

Have far post op are you? I have a severe back ache as well and I am 18-days post op. The doctor said it might be the way I was positioned on the operating table. However, it doesn't explain why the pain has been so bad 10-days after my actual surgery.

I'm 3 weeks out, I've had three injections and have to go to the chiropractor twice a week, plus on Monday I start physical therapy again.

Oh no. I hope that doesn't happen to me. Did you have back issues prior to surgery? I never had back problems, so this is completely out of the norm for me.

Yes, I've had it since I was about 20 and I'm twenty three now. I've passed out twice, because of sever pain

I have been doing Couch to 5K and lots of ARC Trainer - but I decided to switch it up and do spin for the first time in almost 2 years. Ouch! I forgot how much it hurts - especially the first few times. OMG - and I already had a chafing problem - so now I am in mega pain. Looks like I may have to have a rest day to let the chafing heal some - it is danger zone bad and nothing is working to stop it!

      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.
