Exercising one month post op

I had my RNY on 4/20/16. Until the past 5 days or so I haven't been excessively active. The weight loss slowed way down so I decided it was time to get off my rump, even if that meant I wasn't giving my husband my undecided attention as soon as I got off from work, like he expects.

So, tonight I walked about a mile and a half and ran (if that's what one should want to call that) for about 100 yards. I think I may have seen the pearly gates, bright lights, and my calling in my near future as I though I was going to die!

I may or may not have felt like a beached whale with no blow hole when I got back to my house.

Uuuugh! Why on earth would anyone one ever let themselves get like this!?

    I was instructed not to run until 2 months post-op and I'm a runner. Was running right up until the week before my surgery. So if you aren't a runner or accustomed to running, you definitely shouldn't be pushing it so soon post-op.

    good for you moving! I walk in the morning, really gets my day going.

    but you know, giving your husband some undivided attention can qualify as good exercise too. ;-)

    Good for you!! Although I like the physical benefits of exercise, I really need it more for the mental release. It's my time...no kids, no housework, no job, just me and my sweaty self :)

    I know. I am pretty sure my husband has the same dilemma. potato chips/wife. potato chips/wife.

    sometimes he makes the right choice and sometimes he's in the dog house! :D

    you could do yoga while he Snacks. would that be better? or does he need you to not do anything else but sit there?
