Can't tell if I'm still a big sack of crap, or have legitimate asthma



Recommended Posts

Went hiking for the first time since surgery today and it kicked my butt. I huffed and puffed and prayed for death at least twice. This was on an 'easy' trail that a cute elderly pair and their dog was also walking. I honestly thought it would be a breeze, I've lost a bit of weight and have been doing pretty consistent cardio with my workout videos - no issue with that. Outside I can't breathe, feels like I'm breathing through a straw. Maybe I just need to train more...

Well "big sack of crap" doesn't sound right so it must be something else! :)

I didn't realize I had asthma for years and talked to a dr about my symptoms and they were like... you have asthma. lol So anyway, since then I just take a daily inhaler and it's made my life much better. Maybe next time you are in to see your PCP talk to them. =)

Where do you live? I'm in Florida and I can tell you our pollen counts are astronomical right now. And if you have the slightest allergies it can set normally unaffected people into hayfever, wheezing, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes the works. I have a gray truck that is nearly yellow from all the oak pollen. But either way, shortness of breath should be checked out.

@ShellMilliner I'm in Florida too, it's miserable for those of us who suffer from allergies here right now. My car is blue and I walk outside and it's covered in a thick blanket of yellow in just a few hours after washing it.

Ah, okay. I know my surgeon Dr. Jawad has an office in Ocala as well as Orlando, that's why I asked.

I know I has that same problem with exercise and walking after surgery. The doctor said it was due to the weight loss and having to carry all the "extra" skin... I felt like I wanted to collapse.

      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.
