OOOO...my aching muscles!



Recommended Posts

So, I have been exercising 5-6 days a week (cardio/strength mix) for the last 5 months. I have definitely gotten in better shape since surgery. I started a weights class last week and the day after could hardly move-omg the pain:eek:-I literally had to fall back to sit down! I pushed through it and went to class again and it actually helped to relieve some of the soreness. My question is: What can I do to mitigate the soreness on the day after? What do you do?

Thanks!

I totally hear ya on that one. I started a small group personal training session this past week and good god was i in pain. I felt like a MAC truck hit me. Everytime I would sit or go up stairs or move in any way I was in horrid pain, my husband thought I was dieing. I go back tommorow night for a second round of torture, but I will melt the pounds away. I have been told that drinking plenty of Water will flush the lactic acid out of your muscles and that walking will help too, I also too hot baths and try some epson salt in your bath, its suppose to help with muscle pain. Good luck

You can also make sure you stretch before and/or after working out. It doesn't seem important but is really is. This helps me tremendously.

try a hot bath, soak and enjoy, it will feel better the next day. Keep at it, your doing great. I won't even say what I call my trainer, he's so mean. but its worth it in the end.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
