So stressed! Need some guidance on 2 months post op exercise



Recommended Posts

Hi losers!

I need your help please.

I am 2 months post op and don't have any exercise routine.

I just want to know where you were at at 2 months and where i should be. I am foreign to the idea of exercise and don't know what is the best for me at the moment.

I would like to do something at home. Have some kind of programme to follow. Invorporate walking and cycling and perhaps exercises at home with light dumbbels.

What do you auggest? How often and length and all that?

Dont want to go the gym as yet.

Some tips and pointers i will really appreciate.

Thanks!

I bought a commercial grade elliptical off craigslist when a gym closed. I'm 2 months out. I do 30-45 minutes of intense cardio. Then I try to tone with hand weights. I suck at it though. I need to get better about the toning.

I have some old DVD's (walk away the pounds) they come in 1, 2 & 3 miles. It's a great workout. Maybe u can start with a DVD.

I joined the Y, they have tons of free classes with the membership... What inspires me are the senior citizens in the classes working their butts off. Lol.

couch to 5k, you can find the program online and do it in your neighborhood. I started it last week to help give me some focus.

I love the couch to 5k app. I also love the zumba core game on xbox. I tried jogging but was having pain in my knees and the physical therapist said no more jogging until onederland.

I have directTV and can stream YouTube on my front room flat screen. I do Tae Bo Advance, Zumba, Hip Hop workouts and 30 day shred. Regardless of my without I make sure I get 60 mins of walking in first.

I also have arm weights so I do various arm workouts during the 1st half of my walk. In addition I have a medicine ball and I log on YouTube and do a workout. The medicine ball is great for muscle building.

I try and burn 1000+ calories 6 days a week and rest my body 1 day.

      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.
