Dtru 27 Posted May 1, 2017 Today was my first day lifting weights.Did chest and tris at about 2/3 my old weight.Keep in mind I wasn't power lifting doing lighter weight with higher reps.It felt amazing.Ive been at the gym since dayb1 but only on a treadmill.My diet it mostly high Protein with minimal carbs (oatmeal,fruit) I be ad a couple small bites of bread, pasta but I am still consuming yogurt and protein shakes.Peanut butter has been a huge help and I started eating turkey lunch meat with a small piece of string cheese.This new journey is amazing it feels great never being stuffed.I sleep all night,I used to wake up to Pee at least 4 times a night and i also don't snore anymore.My energy is way way up.Ibaas having leg numbness issues but that is slowly improving.As of today my only issue is slight Constipation from high protein diet but Metamucil nightly with another stool softener is helping a lot.I hope you all are doing well on your journeys.My results/reaction or whatever you want to call it are working for me.Find your groove and be patient. 2 Apple1 and ReesesGurl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted May 2, 2017 Sounds like things are going well! My surgeon didn't clear me for weightlifting until further out, but as long as yours ok'd it, then keep on keeping on! It's great that your sleep has improved! Mine did for a while but resumed its normal pattern. (But I'm not sure if it is me waking up or husband/ pets doing it...). Great update!
