Exercise and staying on track

[Stinasue 3]

How long after surgery did you wait to do full blown exercise? And how do you stay successful by staying away from the carbs!! I'm struggling a little bit the last couple days wanting all the stuff I don't need. I want out of this funk!

I waited until after my two week checkup and my surgeon cleared me. As for carbs, its still a battle for me to stop eating bread. I can go without sweets, but bread is my weakness. I'm trying not to be so hard on myself when I slip up, and just start over the next day with a new determination to succeed.

Thank you! My dietician said I'm not getting enough calories to workout and that it may be a few months! I want to get started you know? Maybe I'll call them on Monday and ask if I can again haha. bread is my weakness too. I thought sweets would be harder but there's so many sugar free options these days that you can find something to curb it.

That's true about sweets and all the other choices out there, as for your exercise, just start by doing short walks and as you start to add more calories increase your workout.

I started walking right away and doing 2 mile walks in the first 2 weeks after surgery, then doing cardio workout videos at 3 weeks lol.

As soon a your doctor approves you , you should be exercising the more you exercise and eat healthy the better you will feel and heel. You can always begin with walking and then add on later. I would have never thought I would be a gym nut but i go to the gym 7 days a week or 2-3 hours every day . It is my stress reliever as well as i have met new friends because you will see that some people who claim to buyout friend is not . Good luck everyone.
