Brandnewangel reacted to LoseItKacy in 10 Months Post Op Update
I do lots of stuff and I think that helps.
I like weight lifting. I use a lot of free weights and not the machines.
I run, swim, and use the stair stepper (not all in one day of course).
I usually start with 10-15 minutes of cardio, then lift for awhile, and then end with 10-20 more minutes of a different type of cardio (it's usually the stair stepper).
I haven't lifted weights as much as I use to because I've been training for a half marathon.
But I also do yoga and I've done a few spin classes too.
The perks of living in the mountains is the outdoors are pretty much another gym. I love hiking.
But thank you so much for all the compliments and support. I seriously appreciate it. It's been a long journey so far and I've realized that the journey never really ends. I will always be a work in progress and I will always be battling obesity, even if the scale says I'm a healthy weight.

Brandnewangel got a reaction from UsernameTaken in Leak frustration
Hi all. Usually don't post but I need to vent to people that will understand what I'm going through. April 19 I had a bypass revision. 14 days post op my heart rate started racing and my temp was up . Went to the hospital and was sent home. Next day i went to my dr and I was admitted into the hospital where I stayed for 6 days. Dr found out I had a partially collapsed lung and a small leak. Now roughly 2 weeks later I'm back at home and have been on tpn and unable to eat or drink anything. I can't even take pills. I went in for a barium swallow today to see if the leak has resolved itself and no change. It's a very small leak, only 2 mm in length. I am so frustrated I want to scream. I'm tired of crying about this. I don't know if part of this is my personal issue with not being able to eat food or if it's just the ability to not being able to do anything normal, like sip on Water. For those who have had a small leak, how long did it take to resolve on its own. My dr said its too small to do surgery on. Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
