So Weak!

My surgery date was 4/3/2013, and I want to start working out but I am so weak and not sure where to begin? Any suggestions would be helpful. I thought about joining Curves but not really sure I want to join a gym, I have workout videos at home but just can't get myself to use them because I am so tired. So now what?

I was having the same problems with fatigue after coming home from hospital. Are you getting plenty of fluids and all your Protein in? Also, starting a Multivitamin can help with the fatigue, as well. I threw the idea around of joining a gym, but walking gently around the block will give us great results, too. Let us know how you are going with your fatigue - I hope that it gets straightened out soon for you.

Building up to being active after surgery is a really slow and frustrating process. I just did the walking for about the first 3 weeks or so. Doing anything more than that is really taxing on your body if you are not getting the minimum nutrition (protein) in, which most of us still are not at a month or less post-op. Hang in there, get in your protein (and water) and slowly build up your activity level and at 2-4 months out you should be fine and able to try whatever you'd like.
