I Work Out!

So im 16 days post op.. and here are my stats

 

HW:270

Goal:250

lbs day of surgery:238.1

Current: 222.4

height:5'7''

 

 

So im doin my best to get my exercise on. I am trying to be very concious about gettin either to the gym or going for walk in the morning and in some cases like today I do both.

I guess that is where my problem is starting. I am such an over achiever which sounds like an oxy moron coming from a new sleever right? lol but seriously when i put my mind to something especially now that i have been sleeved i go for the gusto. Well im afraid that im pushing myself to hard. Im only 2 weeks out and i went running today.. not just a fast walk i mean full on running. I made sure to wear a compression garment so i wouldn't be doing to much giggling in the mid section, and then tonight i went to the gym to do some weights. And normally i feel good after working out but tonight my incision where they removed the stomach is just aching. I don't want loose skin so badly that i think im actually making my recovery worse. I have literally traded my food addiction for working out... which in any normal case might be a good thing, but when i know im pushing myself too hard and i can't stop myself there has to be a problem right?

 

UGH!!!!!! whats wrong with me.

 

what makes it worse is that i know what to do and im just not using my brain.. go me..blah. lol..

 

OK ANGE.. time to use your brain. work out.. drink fluids.. but don't over do it. .. now get your butt back on track!

I was told not to do weights until about 6 weeks out. Maybe that's why you're having pain near your incision?

If you absolutely must work-out, try doing less intense exercises.

I'm kinda like you.....I can't wait to get cleared to run.
