How long before I can go to the gym?



Recommended Posts

While In the hospital the PT told me no treadmills, no walking in 32 F and under. Well, it's December in NH and it gets pretty darn cold lol

So I'm stuck? I need to walk, but no where to walk.

I tried waking inside the house, nope, I can't my 2 and 3 yr old want to follow me all over . Which I normally wouldn't care, but not when I'm trying to walk for 10 mi. YA know?

I need to get out and walk! I feel cabin fever setting in lol

Do you have a mall close by? Even if you don't want to buy anything, you sure can get some good walking in by going the length of most malls :)

I would also ask about a mall or indoor gym. I know prior to being discharged from my surgery 11-4 I managed to walk 1/2 mile the day after surgery in the halls and a full mile the day I went home. I kept track with a fitness tracker :) I am not allowed in the gym until after my 12-22 apt with the dr. If all looks ok he will give me the gym green light but not before.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
