What Exercise Did You Do Today?



Recommended Posts

Didn't do organized exercise today, but took the stairs several times in effort to squeeze in some exercise. I'm trying to find a used treadmill so I can get up and jog in the mornings while my son is still sleeping. I want to start yoga as well. You've inspired me to get back into it!

Hey Tina Bree,

How is your exercise Quest going? Keep at it! Even if it is 10 minutes a day. Be like Nike... Just Do It!!

That's awesome... I'm 4 days post surgery. All I can tolerate right now is walking up and down my hallway for 10 minutes every 3-4 hours.

That is awesome! I hope that I can build up to that after surgery. For now, walking and stair climbing are my daily dose. Gotta get more exercise in!

i am three weeks post op and walked several miles yesterday. Today I am paying for it. My abdomen is very sore. But I can tell that the walking helped. Walking is the only thing I can do. I still am too sore to lift or move my arms a lot. I am eager to use the elliptical machines at the gym. These are my favorite exercise machines because they put less stress on the joints.

I do have to walk very slowly. When I first start walking my abdomen is very sore. But when I keep walking, that soreness seems to go away. I still have my drain in (and I am really tired of that drain but I had excessive bleeding) and I find that the hole in my abdomen that it goes through is very sore.

I have to confess I have not done a thing today! It's dark out and raining. I know that's an excuse! I need to learn to just make the time. I am one of those that does not like to exercise. I will work on that.

I've been slack, too. Okay folks, we need to pick it up a notch! Lets all try to do 30 minutes of something today. Report in tomorrow. I may not report as I am going in for surgery today and may not be able to post. Lets get motivated to move! :0)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
