Walking nauseates me



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 weeks post- RNY, 2 weeks post adhesion release for a bowel obstruction. I'm limited to walking right now, which is fine because it's my favorite form of activity. I thought I got nauseated on a two mile walk a few days ago because I forgot to take Water with me. It took hours to recover. The next day I drank plenty of Water during my walk, still got nausea but it didn't last as long. Saw my Nut yesterday and she feels I may be doing too much at once. Did 4 one mile walks yesterday and was fine. Today, I slowed it down a bit but tried 1.5 miles because I won't have time for 4 walks. Nausea is back, it's kind of really frustrating. Ok, I just wanted to rant.

Is it hot where you live? It was about 90 degrees where I live yesterday and after a 3 mile walk I felt kind of crummy for awhile too. Even if you are fully hydrated the sun can contribute to making you sick, especially when you are not on regular food yet, still recovering from a major surgery, and possibly not fully recovered from all the drugs and anesthesia. Stick an ice pack in the back of your sports bra or somewhere near the core of your body. It will melt all over you by the time you're done, but it will keep your core temp down and you may not get sick.

Not hot yet. 70's the other day and cloudy and cool today. My Nut had a good theory that walking pulls blood away from your core to your extremities and that healing requires extra blood flow and nausea is my body's way of saying, "slow down". I hate when my body and mind don't agree!

Hmm, that's a thought. I have to remember my body is different now. I'm still on soft foods, maybe a string cheese. Thanks.

Btw, @@LipstickLady I stalked all of your posts in the last week. Funny, inspiring and good advice...I'm kind of jealous.

I was going to recommend the same thing. I always bookend my workout with Protein. If I'm up super early (rare) I eat scrambled eggs. Most days I make a large Protein Drink (20 -24 ounces). I can drink that before, during and after my workout. It gives me the fuel I need but isn't too heavy on my belly. It also helps keep me hydrated.

      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.
