Bowling!



Recommended Posts

I am NOT a model bandster when it comes to exercise. I reluctantly admit time to time, that I can not get my lazy self into the gym. I work somewhere that has a full company gym.. like 20ft from my office. Yet, the only exercise I do.. is walk my dog around the block when I take her out now, and I always park far away, take stairs, etc. The minimal things.

I am not bragging, I wish I had the commitment, motivation, etc. everyone that is out there and DOING it has!!

But, I am on a bowling league. We bowl once a week. And I have been losing steadily since they fixed my port. Without my exercising :tongue:

I had to take 2 weeks off for whatever reason, and my weight loss has stalled. HMMMMM.

I have tried to calculate exercise-ness of bowling, but it's varied all over the place. I use a 16lb ball, 3 games, and it seems to be helping me! Just that one time a week.

So my point was, for anyone else in my boat, who can't seem to motivate yourself.. join a bowling league (OR TWO.. I'm going to join 2 next season)!

It's a lot of fun, and apparently a good way to get exercise!

Did you have to wait 2 weeks after your surgury before you could bowl again? I am a bowler and haven't asked my Dr. how long til I can bowl again after surgury. Where do you live? Congrats on your weightloss

Well before surgery, I had to quit bowling for 2 years due to the back pains I had from being overweight. I had surgery in April, back problems had stopped around July.. and I started the fall league in August. I think 6 weeks is how long you're suppose to wait? I would ask your doc!

I live in Alabama.

      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.
