Fell down flight of stairs... yes I'm whining



Recommended Posts

3 weeks post op and finally starting to feel "normal". Was just getting my energy back and had started working out on my elliptical when I just had to fall down a flight of steps! No breaks or fractures showing but my foot is so swollen they can't do an MRI to see if anything is torn. So now I'm in a boot with strict instructions to keep it elevated for one week when I have to go back to the orthopedic Doctor.

I can't even begin to tell you how frustrated I am!!!

Y'all got any chair exercises or any advice for me?

There are many chair excerise videos on amazon....google it first and do your research as to what you want to accomplish and find one to fit your level..I used them avlot in the beginning. Once I was able to move a little better as I lost weight I found something else to meet my level..

Sorry this happened but it might be a blessing in disguise. I did not exercise at all during my active weight loss period and I lost a massive amount of weight. The moment I started to work out regularly the weight loss stopped! Once I stopped working out ( my partner had plastics) I began to lose again!

Take care of your foot and rest.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
