    Guys I've started writing all about my personal journey and how stick food has helped me eat more easily along with recipes. I've written about the emotions that go along with this experience you can find my blog at http://sticksandstones.blog I'm 6 months out from presurgery and surgery was 5 months ago. I've lost 130+ pounds. Please check it out and let me know what you think.IMG_4199.JPG

    I think i was 4 weeks after and have just stayed away from anything fizzy. Vodka and cranberry juice does the trick

    I was told I had to wait a year, but I'm not sure I can make that! I'm 6 weeks out and I'm going to attempt to make at least 6 months. I had one sip on Mardi Gras day. I have always liked whiskey but I know the calories are hell

    I'd ask your PT what you can do in a regular gym. Swimming or Water aerobics may be options because the Water displaces 60% of your weight, taking a lot of stress off your joints.

    Weight lifting is great for calorie burn, and contrary to popular misconceptions, it doesn't make people bulk up.

    There's also a device called an arm bike. It's like a stationary bike, but you pedal with your arms. It's a decent aerobic workout if you put the effort into it. It's common in certain types of pt, and paraplegic people use the to train for wheelchair athletics.

    What's the nature of the injury?

    Swimming is a great exercise for people who can't do a full load bearing exercise like running, but it depends on the injury.

    I have arthritis in my right knee and patellar tendonitis and bursitis in my right hip from being hit by a ford f 250 2 years ago... I use an anti gravity treadmill at pt but I'm only getting 30 minutes of exercise 3x a week

    Have you ever tried a hula hoop? You can search videos on youtube, arm hooping with smaller hoops. I guarantee it works you will also get a great work out having to walk to pick up the hoop when it flies off your arm. seriously....spinning the hoop above your head us one of the best arm exercises there is. I know because I am a hula hooping belly dancer and I can't wait to get back into the circle again! Let me know how if goes for you.





    I can't belly hoop I've tried a thousand times and just can't do it, but getting a small hoop would be really good for arms! Thanks!!

    I feel great but so ready to chew something!! I haven't had many complications but your tummy will get upset. I highly recommend pho broth when on Clear Liquids and don't forget the power of seasonings. You're gonna do great!
