I walked did I over do it?



Recommended Posts

I'm ten days post op yesterday I had a appointment so I caught the bus up but decided to walk home the two locations are right next to each other one medium size city the other small my mom came with me just in case it was about a 33min walk I didn't make home by walking as planned I walked until I fell exhausted my neck & shoulders felt heavy & weak so my mom said let catch the bus I felt bad because we were about a 18mins walk away from home & I really was trying pre op I was able to walk for hours outdoors & do 2hr on treadmills with incline I later went to Google maps to see how many miles I walked & was saddened to see it was only 1.7 miles

My question to members who can remember this post op stage or who are in this post op stage did any of you feel this tired? Did it get better? When did you feel like your old self again? How long did it take?

So I am one week out and mentally I feel good enough to do things, so I got to do them and bam, I'm exhausted! I think it's a matter of nutrition, and not getting in all of the nutrients, plus our bodies systems are burning tons of energy just trying to heal! So when we add walking to this , we get tired! I know it will go away because I see so many people months and years out running marathons and triathlons! I'm with you, feeling it to! Walking is good but pace it until little by little!

I was sleeved on the 14th and I still get tired all the time. I can only get through 20min of a 45 min walking in place work out video. I have done a lot of shopping and window shopping at local malls and outlets. I find this has helped as I love to shop and the motivation to discover new finds kinda takes my mind off of my tiredness. But i usually need to lay down as soon as I get back home.

folks we just had major surgery. It only makes sense that we are still weak. :o) I had my surgery on the 14th. I try to walk a little each day for 10 min. I overdid it yesterday and was worn completely out.

I wasn't in any shape to do much more than the 20 minutes of walking my doc told me to do daily post-op. It wasn't till about the end of month 3 before my strength returned and at month 6, I started feeling my old normal self again.

Thank goodness for this thread. I was sleeved on 10/31 and walked 3 miles on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, I was so exhausted, I could barely get out of bed. Last night I walked for 10 to 15 min and it didnt affect me too terribly. Think that is what I will do.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
