Fell off the exercise wagon!



Recommended Posts

I regretfully report I haven't been to the gym in 7 days now. I regretfully report I haven't weighed myself in the same amount of time. I'd say that I am going back tonight, or tomorrow, but I'd be lying. I had another bout of shingles (the most severe complication of surgery) this week. As a result, I have a 1,000 errands to run tonight and I'm watching my twin nieces all day, all night tomorrow. But someone, for heavens sake, please keep tabs on me and ask if I went Sunday! I feel horrible that I've fallen off the wagon.

Caring for two nine month olds...when you're not used to it...is exercise enough.

Don't be So Hard on yourself.

Dust off and get back to it next week. It is a marathon not a sprint.

A couple of day rest from working out is not terrible. It gives your body time to reset and recover.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
