First Day Of Real Exercise .....



Recommended Posts

Today is six weeks post op and I've got the sweat pants and tank top on, and brought in and dusted off the glider and weights .....lol! Just finished a little stretching app on my phone then jumped on the glider and after five minutes I thought I was going to die! I have never exercised before in my life so I knew it was going to be pathetic.....but wow! Are there others out there that feel kinda pathetic? Lol. When you guys started out at first how long did you exercise for?

Aww your cute. I exercise off/on so I know how you feel when you don't do it for long & start all over again.

I was pathetic too. I'm 3 weeks post op so I've just been walking. I'm up to a mile and a half in 30 minutes. I decided every week I'm going to push myself a little further. I'm down 36 pounds.

If u wanna feel REAL pathetic try Zumba fitness rush. I do it on my daughters Xbox connect and I'm drenched in sweat in 5 mins. Lol. It is very intense. I do that for a 1/2 hour on the days I can't get out and walk. Sometimes I do the stationary bike for a 1/2 hour. I like to mix things up

Tell me about this zumba. I see it on TV & it looks so good & so fast & sweety... Have you seen the commercial on the Shawn T (I think that's how it's spell) it looks so good for the stomach. You know since I'm not rich & it's hard to save alot of money with 3 kids. I was thinking if I buy this DVD maybe my tummy will be super flat & so the rest of my body so I won't need plastic surgery? What you think?

Its most definitely a total body workout. Its more like Latin dancing. I have a friend taking a zumba class at a gym and she's lost 20 lbs and 12 inches in 2 1/2 months. No surgery. It is very intense. If your kids have a video gaming system u can buy the game. Which is the same as the DVDs but it tracks your progress too. They make it for the wii also.

Oh my gosh I remember 2 tomes in my life in the last 8 years that this happened. I actually cried both times. I was hurting, sad, angry and embarrassed at how far I'd let myself go.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
