Aug/Sept Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Walked for 50 minutes this morning. It was finally cloudy and cooler here. That made it so much easier. Remind me of that when I'm complaining of the cold in a few months.

Alright I was doing pretty good I had done 4 days of mindful exercise. I was doing 20 mins of walking 2 sometimes 3 times a day of I could fit in in. Now Monday I started with really bad pain in my left ankle. Went to the podiatrist ahd he confirmed my suspicion it was a flair up of gout. I have had this problem before, when doing high Protein diets. So I am going to have to start the walkng again in a few days.

I am so excited. I finally convinced my DH to take family walks in the evening. Pre-band he was never really interested in talking about how I need to exercise. He was probably scared I would bite his head off:) So I will be doing my elliptical in the morning and walking with my family at night. I want to get up to an hour of exercise a day.

I have started walking on the treadmill for 15 minutes a day 5 days a week and then I get on the bike for 5 or 10 minutes. I can't weigh because I am on a business trip. I am also not eating mushies. I have to do lots of chewing because there is not way to eat all mushies out 3 meals a day. I try to eat salmon or chicken and chew to mush and have potatoes as a side. I have had some Pasta. I think I have lost more weight but won't know till late next week. It is so easy to exercise at a hotel, very convenient.

Hi, Rosie here. Thanks for the challenge! We have two dogs and a cat, and I take them for a walk twice a day, 1/2 hour each. They do not give me a chance to say no.

Tomorrow I will drive into town and see if a membership to the local gym is available for a month to month basis.

My first appt since surgery is this Wednesday, and I hope to be given permission to exercise.

Everyone keep up the good work.

35 minutes - 1.75 miles.

Exercising is much easier now that I am on solid foods! When I was on mushies I thought I was dying!

      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.
