So I had no preop diet since my BMI was 35.6, and I'm extremely pleased with my loss thus far. Doing everything to the letter, my pain subsided by day 4/5, but since this past Sunday I've been SO tired. I'm physically almost as tired as I was the first week which doesn't make sense to me, I felt great wk 2. I've been active around the house and walking, but have been laying in bed mostly since Monday. I wanted to kick up the exercise a bit to try and build energy...
I've tried my Zumba DVDs but they are just to fast paced for me to keep up, forget all that jumping and bouncing! So yesterday I pulled out my large yoga ball and sat on it most of the day, stretching, hip rotations, etc. felt pretty good this morning. Just finished up a 45 min "dance jam" to VH1 on the ball, basically dancing while sitting and bouncing and rolling around like a loon - my 18 yr old son laughed his ass off when he walked into the TV room and saw me jamming on the ball.
So if any of you are having a hard time exercising and have a yoga ball hiding in a closet, go grab it! It's actually pretty fun and I broke a sweat and my heartbeat stayed elevated throughout. And I'm not exhausted afterward
I think I may have even learned how to twerk! ???? thanks Miley
